Borderline

Appendix

Do you speak English?
Are you Christian?
Then you’ve just died.

My name is Jesus
And I’m taking you to Heaven.
The bad news first:

The light you saw at the end
Of the tunnel
Is actually the beginning

Of a reverse cosmic funnel,
Meaning it gets colder
And darker from here on out.

But now the good news
I promised:
Because of your faith,

Instead of counting backwards
From a hundred,
I’ll ask you to close your eyes

And picture yourself
On a straight and narrow road
That takes you everywhere

And nowhere at the same time.
