Hello Kitty is God
“Hello Kitty is God”
Purrs hot-pink hipster
Subway-wall scripture,
A spray-painted rosy and cozy hosanna
To the plastic fantastic deity
Written by pathless PATH tube
Underground Christopher Street prophets
Toting photographic cell phone rosaries
That capture the souls of passers-by
In digital pixel beads
As offerings to their
Divine feline’s omnipresent essence.And who the fu** am I
To argue with Her acolytes
About her preternatural pre-fab perfection
When Her iconic
And ironic
And embryonic tabula rasa facial features,
A white oval topped by
Twin white triangles
And adorned
By two black dots
And six black lines,
Appear in crop circles in England
As wheat genuflects in adoration.And Her ever-enigmatic gaze
Sparks brightly flaming claims
Of miraculous cures
Of acne and bad-hair days,
And She floats in flat-screen plasma visions
Of burning-bush benedictions
As feverish pilgrims sprout polyvinyl stigmata
Honoring a gloriously porous amorphous
Supreme being
Who reveals nothing
Who says nothing
Who means anything
To anyone anywhere
And therein, of course,
Lies Her colossus-bestriding-the-Earth
Almighty appeal.
