if there is a god
i think he must be shaped something like a mountain
and something like a tree
and something like an ocean . . .
i rather imagine he looks something like a black man
and something like a white man
and something like a yellow man
and something like a woman, too . . .
i think he sees the universe through the eyes
of a big, brown bear
and through the eyes of a dove
and through the eyes of a gentle, medium-size whale . . .
