9.

Brother Jesus,
How many churches
Have you already visited tonight?
"Brother C,
Since two thousand years ago
I left the earth-scene
I have completely forgotten
Earth-calculation.
Will you condescend
To count on my behalf?"
Certainly I shall do it for you.
But are you going to understand
My earth-figures
When I take the trouble
Of counting the places
You have visited
Or are going to visit today?
"Brother C,
You will fail,
You are bound to fail.
But for our Father's sake
Keep it a top secret.
Only let me know, please."
Why only you, dearest brother?
"Because."
Why?
Why?
"Because, because."
Why?
Why?
Why?
"Because.
Because.
Because."
