With this piece I was pretty narrowly focused when I wrote it. It is reminiscent of a story about Jesus (John 9) giving sight to a blind man. He spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and placed it on the blind man’s eyes and the blind man could then see. One interpretation of my poem might be, J was distracted by the church and its blindness. His effort to heal it was futile. What looked like nasty, ugly mud that dirtied a little girl in a white dress, had an affect on her when she came of age. Whether it affected her for good, or not, is left up to the reader.
Dennis Hopper makes a fine J. Too bad he's dead. I'm sorry, but I didn't get the connection (like Sage did?). Perhaps you'll have to write the short story so that I can piece together the pieces. Reads like something that Stephen King would write, but then, he maybe already has.
