they said he came out of nowhere
just showed up one day and never left
but that isn-t true
I saw him last week
and the week before that
standing over there alone
with those same old clothes
and busted leather sandals
said he had no place to go
or to lay his head at night
and that he was hungry & thirsty
after fasting for forty days & nights
so I took him home and
prepared a meal and we ate
that night drinking wine
he told tales
of birds and beasts
that inhabit the earth
and how he had been searching
for a man like me
for such a long time and
that he was very tried
and needed to rest
I gave him my bed for the evening
and he thanked me and went to lay down
in my dreams, I saw him
speak to angels and
walk golden streets
but when the morning came
the prophet was gone
along with all of my clothes
the bastard took everything
I can-t believe it!
he even managed to steal my television
and microwave
what am I going to tell the authorities?
that Christ robbed me
while I slept
they are never going to believe me
