THE KUMQUAT MESSIAH (a character monologue) What if I told you "I am the earth mother goddess of spiritual super markets alike!" I know you want to believe me! I know you long to belong! For the produce aisles are our forests- So spread your tyrannic nakedness over the broccoli like butter and heal and raid the spice racks filled with rainbow-ed food glitter and paint your souls over in the palettes of the deepest paprika and vice- for this is what you like all along banning The Spamm (BEWARE!) for it is an impostor and I am real and I am bubbling - loud with power and hunger and with the pious weight of the pious truth told to me by and in which few do know So follow me, my lonely void filled brothers and sisters feel the warmth and love for the cupcakes and pastries are our lovers and apostles and the magazines stacked in racks are my critics and bibles ! From the sun-lamped chickened deserts to the ice capped mountains of beef to the swaying sprays of hoses that keep my forests fertile and green from the oceans of bottled waters to the sweet inferno of chocolates treats! I have come for you, I am the earth mother goddess of spiritual supermarkets alike I am the holy! I am the decadent! I am the new kumquat messiah (aisle 7) Belong. Believe. In me.
