Hey-ya, I wrote a poem titled "beat" yesterday. Next time I preach at my local church I plan to utilize the stylings of the late-20th century beatnick poets. we should all collaborate sometime a la Ginsberg-Kerouac

"A sacred salsa of salvation" - love it.
Plus the reference to the Raiders of the Lost Ark is well-placed.

This is fantastic. There are too many good lines to start picking them out, but "sacred salsa of salvation" sticks out to me, and anytime you can put "shit-list" and "French pressed" in the same poem, there's something good going on there.
