INVISIBLE by Mark Ready

No heavenly celebrant
Or person of conscience
Could ignore the gigawatt smile.
On the child’s dirty epoxy-smooth face
Its mother was homeless.
Yet the baby’s innocent giggles could outsell her gloom.
The respectable people walked past the
Moneyless Madonna and child
But the poor who knew hunger gave all.

The 100 Gigawatt Preacher by Bob Metivier

The
one hundred
gigawatt TV tower
broadcast its celebrant,
standing at his cardboard pulpit,
held together by epoxy:
"This is the Kingdom Hour!"
He smiled and greeted them all,
He knew full well he could outsell
Every pastor on the air,
Holding keys to every question
Anyone would dare.

Untitled by Gloria Horton-Young

Celebrant! of
[epoxy]
dreams,
<outsell> the night,
where neon
beams.

{Gigawatt}
whispers,
electric streams,
poet's heart beats,
defying
schemes.

Words surge,
power's
surge,
ignite the mind,
sparks
and circuits,
synergy we find.

In
twilight's shroud,
where words
collide,
electric symphony,
souls
confide.

Gigawatt reverie,
where only her
imagination
breathes.

Meghan by Christine Law

Meghan the witch thought
She would outsell herself,
With sticky expoxy,
Celebrant performing at
1,000 gigwatts.
Oh, hell fire, frogs legs, green slim
Let things happen quick,
So that no morons will be
Left?
To enter earths atmosphere
Before the dawning of light.
Meghan smiled standing on
The rock.

HOLY CHURCH of The GIGAWATT by the Flea Dane

Long live the HOLY CHURCH Of The GIGAWATT
By the sacrament of the incandescence
Bless its radiation
Kathodes cased in candy-color epoxy
Our altar before which we stand in reverence
Plasticine celebrants
Excessive evangelism eats night sky
Outsells your moon and stars ev'ry sales quarter
Holy blindedness
Holiest burning
