‎"Be regular and ordinary in your life, like a bourgeois, so that you may be violent and orginal in your work."

Jesus our brother in grief

When we slap each other’s back in pleasure
When we flatter one another
When we ‘like’ this or that on Facebook
Or say something clever

We then turn and see you,
On the cross,
And sober up for a moment

You gaze through layers of pretense
You see us as we really are
And by some miracle,
Jesus our brother in grief,
You recognize us as your own
