down by the river.
And you shall love the Lord, your God
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your might.
Jesus stays up late
drinking and talking with his brothers, brother to all.
Jesus didn’t come to save, this time.
There’ll be no healing, this time.
No miracles, this time.
No water into wine, even when the bottle’s empty.
These words will command you today in your heart:
teach the children.
Jesus washes his hands
with water from the plastic jug,
under unseen stars.
