Christian Science Reading Room
Mark Eitzel
I was so high, I stood for an hour outside the Christian Science Reading Room
And suddenly I could not resist and I became a Christian Scientist
And I studied light and I studied sound
And every question that I asked was suddenly profound
The holy martyrs of gravity - the absolute measure of being free
I was so high that I even scared the cat
And using the language of his tail
He said he had a vision - a thousand white flags flying over my hat
And then he hid under the bed - and his eyes were big as bells
And suddenly he could not resist and he became a Christian Scientist
And together we explored our world
And found it became more beautiful as it unfurled
