Christian Science Reading Room - Mark Eitzel

I was so high, I stood for an hour outside the Christian Science Reading Room

And suddenly I could not resist and I became a Christian Scientist

And I studied light and I studied sound

And every question that I asked was suddenly profound

The holy martyrs of gravity — the absolute measure of being free

I was so high that I even scared the cat

And using the language of his tail

He said he had a vision — a thousand white flags flying over my hat

And then he hid under the bed — and his eyes were big as bells

And suddenly he could not resist and he became a Christian Scientist

And together we explored our world

And found it became more beautiful as it unfurled
