Let’s do something easy.

Let’s do something easy, God.

If you are tired of Middle Eastern zealots,

Place your hand on the back of the dog.

Here, where my hand is—

pressing her head and shoulders

down into the floor

while she shakes and quivers

during the storm.

Heal her.

Give me peace.

Let us sleep.

If you are tired of wreaking havoc

Place your hand here on my back,

press hard into my shoulders

down into my body,

while I shake and quiver

during real life.

Let’s do something easy.

Easier than this.
