Wearing Saturn: Poems and Fragmentary Essays

By Morgen Crawford

"My stepfather brought us to church, and my mother wore a gi. He meant to show us how everything could be Christian if you tried hard enough. I took it as a lesson in retroactive continuity.

While she stood upon the dais, my stepfather gestured. The gi is the Holy Spirit. The belt is Jesus. The whole costume refers to the armor of God.

I use the present tense because he did not mean to tell us that Taekwondo was Christian in his mind. He meant that he had changed history. Or rather, Christian was the way it always had been.

At the time I wondered, what would a Buddhist think? But now I know it was the wrong question."
