the easy way

He did not get to do things the easy way
He got to learn hard lessons by burning his tongue
on molten lamb
volcanic peas

He got to jump off a too tall turnpike exit
to learn that gravity
can be a bitch

He discovered
step by step
that love doesn't happen by force
when he cupped his hands

and met Christ in the Eucharist
