On Reading Thomas Merton:
I Didn’t Know an Eyebrow was Involved
To read Thomas Merton, we are scold-told
Is middlebrow spirituality 1
I never knew that a brow was involved
Because I see the barber every week
But I like Father Louis (bourgeois or not)
And his brave travelogues of life and soul
And that he missed his pen and pocketknife
When he surrendered all through his holy vows
So, yeah, that man is flawed, as flawed as can be
And thus flawed Thomas is just the man for me
