have you ever tried to figure yourself and god and life out at age 48? I have and please hear me say this in the most unsarcastic font I can find it is so much fucking fun * This is a poem from my new book,
I love that 'whole' section of the book - God: new thoughts - which I think could also be called 'theologizing leaner' (both in the sense that you have less theological baggage, and that you're not entirely sure if God exists but you're leaning towards it)!
I was in my 30's. I wouldn't say it was fun in the process, but I love who I am (and also who I was) a lot more now, and also I love God so much more honestly and deeply now.
Iām there now at 41.
Ray Romano says in his book that he writes "f--ing" most of the way through so that when he needs to write "fucking" it has more punch. š
Very much approve of balancing freaking with fucking. Makes it more powerful.
Love this poem--and your juxtaposition of "fucking" and "freaking" is perfection!

I think I was 43. I did not have a font. I had a kitchen floor. It was not so much fun then. But at 50, it is getting pretty real!
