Sao Paolo Free Verse: Arthroscopic Surgery for the Psyche

God has a vacation home in the West Indies where he stays once football is season is over

His mahogany liquor cabinet has a dark cherry finish and is filled with Prohibition whiskey

The humidor is stocked with pre-embargo Cubans

Ramon Allones Tubos from 1959

5 ½ inch, 42 ring gauge La Coronas from 1937

The tobacconist’s Philosopher’s Stone

He has a personal chef who followed Marco Polo’s spice route

Who marinates the lamb in monatomic gold

The palate of soft earth tones and amber resin lighting complements the Snapper Escabeche with red onion and Muscat grapes

A jeroboam of 1787 Chateau Lafite is kept in the wine cellar

It once belonged to Thomas Jefferson

The chef sneaks a Montecristo No. 2 from the humidor after preparing Osaka black cod with soy and a sweet mirin glaze

God doesn’t even notice

The deity business is lucrative
