some things you can do better or
you can only do at all
when you perform a ritual tied
to that action —
as if it were an act meant
to bless the function
award the focus
reward the result
the nature of the two
tied inextricably
a marriage sacred under unto god.
you used to reject this marriage as a weakness
homophobia disguised as reason
when the only thing it is
is rejection of the nature of man
homo sapiens sapiens must have a church
and the rituals conducted funnel the spirit
sharpen the focus and frame the action
—to better snapshopt thy godhood.
rituals enrich your parish.
you are the priest and conductor
and in time the things you do
become holy by right.
