Nerd Jesus

The kids flock.
Their messiah returns.
Scarved and bespectacled.
They line up for hours
to catch a glimpse
to touch the robe
to rub excited fingers
across his broomstick
and disappear from their
troubling world.

Nerd Jesus.
False prophet
like so many
before him.

So this is my response to Harry Potter. I don't get it either.

I like the "scarved and bespectacled" line, along with the images you offer in capturing the excitement of Potterphiles. Jesus references alway rock as well, imho.
