i'm an agent of an ancient order
that was founded some millennia ago,
decreed by rulers with divine right,
rightfully bestowed by God, the wise

it's the wonderful day of our reunion,
and the lovely dress you wear kills
we're eating dinner together tonight
at a fancy spot with white tablecloths

i mumble meaninglessly
as i drift into a slumber

tuck me under the covers,
and read me a bedtime story
do you give kisses goodnight?
they might leave me *****

i hope you live forever
because you're doing favors
for the world that loves you
and is full of wonder

the signs affirm themselves as
what caused what is meant to be,
and they are hidden from our views
like God up high in the heavens
