FRIDAY PRAYER

At Hillcrest’s Damgoode Pies, Jason’s playing
the Beatles’ Revolver CD. Yuba
City, CA, my teen grandniece can sing
all lyrics to Elvis gold. A tuba
haloes Tronzo’s slide guitar on Spanish
Fly’s ’94 Fly By Night flowing from
my Internet. Spirit, please grant my wish:
Fill our great globe with Bill Asti’s wisdom.
Let fearful eyes see what he sees—vast breath
of human song, a single song’s lyric
in every action, each chord joining death
and life as one dance linking our mystic
selves to our earth selves—a city divine,
meeting this inspired architect’s design.
