I Found God

I found God in the arc of a banana peel
Released from my hand
Pitched perfectly into the garbage bin on the kitchen floor.

Ten thousand thoughts faster
Racing past the mind of man
Granting me the gift of angles and altitudes.

Blessed with the power to take and toss the mortal remains of a meal
Lacking any conscious command
Across the ceaseless chasm of Zeno's rift.

What mathematical mind dare deny the truth
The effortless application of Heaven's holy plan
To the practice of complex calculations on the kitchen floor?

The brain and body merged in a moment of sacred time
To find and follow the single flighty strand
That traces the path from a man to a can.

This must be the secret which man cannot conceal
That from the day when human life began
God himself was tracing the path of a banana peel in flight.

I found God in the Ark of a banana peel
Released from my hand
Pitched perfectly into the garbage bin on the kitchen floor.
