names and not titles



in the spirit i was lifted up
to see angels calling names
names after names
mentioning not a single title

as they opened that single gate
to heaven like the custom officer
letting passengers through
that single door

to an outgoing flight
the rest the angels
pushed them into hell
as if pushing empty cans

into the garbage
the dump
even if they had letters
that are official

in that port the only criterion
for entrance being
that which is real
the stamp on the conscience
