It’s not in the rulebook,
that eyes must be closed,
that prayer requires kneeling,
a posture of contrition.
God’s not offended by slang,
by angry words, by minutia.
God likes humor,
shorthand thoughts,
a familiarity others…we…
feel blasphemy.
When we really talk
WITH, not TO God,
its fine with him,
He’s happy to visit with us,
eyes wide open.
