you are scripted,
a close-minded closed loop
of self-serving information.
you are a gospel,
a reinforcement of culture
and social values,
a quiet damnation of individuality
and singular peace.
you are a text of great importance
in the narrative of my life,
a character called and cast,
a course correction necessary
for my daily disobedience.
you are my gospel,
a track of words and motions and images
where i turn for inspiration
and for silence.

because gospels do not speak,
are only cold words on a thin page.
