Can your mind’s eye watch God giggle?
Have you ever been the adult in the room
so long you want to shatter the illusion?
Do you like to laugh? Does God?
Is  your god so Old Testament
he never relaxes, never chats?
If you were choosing friends —
or teachers, pastors, role models —
would you insist levity leave?
We are told in the rooms of recovery
to choose our own god, to create one
we trust, we choose to follow, we like!
Would your god play hide and seek,
eager for you to find him?
