Dear God
Do old dogs
have wrinkles
underneath their fur.
If tortoises had whiskers
would you
make them hinged.
Cats are smiling
aren’t they
when they purr,
and, if pigs do fly
I’m sure it’s you
who made them winged.
And is there
a heaven
where the dead can be.
Dear God
I hope you’re
not lying to me.
