bingo! (Postage Stamp)

O-72!
The cage spins,
a racket of rumbling
like cows' feet.
A revolving birdcage, 
it seems.
The branded bingo balls
are dead birds to me,


under the guardian of a limp
moose-taxidermied back in '47.
He rigs the games in favor
of the Christians. They resurrect 
the dead birds- "Hallelujah!"


and a "Christ Almighty!"
clap as thunder, and the
way this hall shakes,
I would guess God
to be afoot.
