Poetry Report: The Color of Santa/Jesus

“As a matter of fact,
if you were to examine
the skin up close”

Dear Megyn Kelly, Jesus is the color behind your eyes when you pray for the world.

Thanks,

Take a Closer Look


Jesus was actually brown,
well I mean he was olive,
actually he had an
orange tint.

As a matter of fact,
if you were to examine
the skin up close
you could see some blue
and pink and yellow
chocolate hues,
burnt umber,
gorgeous ebony streaks,
some freckles,
dashes of purple,

well, if honed in,
on an electron microscope,
the skin turns to
canyons of red and
brown and yellow,
or even sometimes
gray scale sci-fi plateaus,
till it doesn't even
look like skin anymore.

Now that you mention it,
when Jesus is looked
at on the atomic level
one will find there
exists a sign on one
of the protons
that clearly states,
in precise quantum lettering:

It doesn't fucking matter
what skin color Jesus had.
