God and His Pottery Wheel
Miles Davis’ Flamenco Sketches is playing in a void
God is here - He cracks a smile and the universe is created
He sways to the 54 tempo and knocks a meteor into the Earth’s orbit
And kills the majority of all physical beings on the planet
God don’t make no mistakes
He taps his foot
A bit farther way this time
Powering a Kronos-brand pottery wheel to work on man
Miles always helped him think
Man, already on spinning disc, is reduced
Again,
To clay – needed to be reminded of where he came from
Needed to feel the hand on God on his life
God reaches hand into some slip
And some slip drips away from spinning disc
Landing on Earth – Black lives floods the streets
Some describe their enthusiasm as not of this world
God mimics the piano fingering in the 7th minute of song
The white keys sing and black keys get pressed in
Both rise back up, waiting for the next chord
The next death
The next outcry
Some of the black keys get stuck in grand piano
God reaches hand into some slip
To better caress man
To hold man in his hands without reducing him any further
A rejuvenation, God does work on man
To prepare him for the next time some slip drips off of spinning disc
