"A Conversation About Heaven," A Poetry Post

When I get to Heaven
I'mma get me 
one of those
large white horses
with the
swinging hair,
and I'mma be 
FIT
riding high with
long blonde hair 
swinging from
side to side.

Oh, blonde hair is it?
A big fit Black man with
long blonde hair?

Yeah!
Long blonde hair
swinging like this---
swish, swish---
and I'm gone have 
one of those
big, long swords: 
Shiny!

Oh really? A sword then?

Yeah yeah!
That big bright silver one!

And when we ride out 
to slay demons,
I'mma be out front,
cutting 'em down!

And I'll be at your
right corner
with a bow and arrows
picking them off like
shewn, shewn!

---Laughter---

Mom,
what do you want to do
when you
get to Heaven?

I'm gone 
ask God to
give me
about a year's long nap
without an alarm clock.

Then,
we'll discuss it.

---Laughter---
