Bedridden, stopped talking,
Everyone began visiting-
Aunts, in-laws, cousins.
Aunts of aunts,
Cousins of cousins.
Every day sipping chai,
Talking, reminiscing,
Full meals and gossip-
Waiting for him to die.
His breath would pace up
Or eyes would abnormally roll.
And shivers in his legs-
He was in and out
While everyone waited.
Days passed and weeks.
People came and went.
Some stood their ground,
Some were frustrated
And never came back.
Some thought they would
Return once he died.
The event became a
Running joke eventually.
One day, he stood up.
After a while, he started
Walking around.
Talking and cussing like
He always did.
His revival confused
Everyone.
To be happy or sad?
The churning of free
Sucrose while they
Waited for him to pass-
Was it this uncomfortable
When Jesus resurrected?
Might be.
Maybe Jesus cussed
Everyone who were
Disappointmented by
His resurrection.
Someone took a note
And it's a religious
Scripture now.
