A Day in the Life of the Risen Jesus
Jesus is homeless.
Jesus hasn’t had a shower
or a haircut
or a shave
in a long, long time.
Jesus sleeps in a cardboard box
down by the river,
dreaming of sweet Mary Magdalene.
Jesus rises with the sun,
washes his hands with water from a plastic jug.
Jesus kneels on his dirty sleeping bag,
and chants the Shema:
The Lord our God is One…
Jesus walks a mile to the labor pool,
looking for a day’s work. (continues)
