Driving

I drove past Bethlehem today
but I didn't stop
they only wanted John's
head to lie 'neath the cross

It was a cold drive
the neon, flourescent lights
of unbilical crucifixes
beckoned me to
Egypt and a
strange sphinx
smile

Hi Elle...I wouldn't dare question what the Sphinx was
smiling about, but you seem to know....so now I suggest
you travel to Italy and question The Mona Lisa

enjoyed your poem very much
