Poetry
Big Joy Kyrie
James Broughton
Big Joy have mercy upon us
Deliver us from dread
from fret funk and glum
scowl sneer and fidget
Big Joy have pity upon us
Deliver us from droop
from flinch fuss and squirm
sham shame and dither
Big Joy shed grace upon us
Deliver us from daunt
from whine whimper and pout
chafe vex and blooper
O Big Joy rescue us
from the petty the inane
the vacuous the mediocre
and the triumphantly stupid
