I saw heaven

 I saw heaven in a dream the other night.

In heaven, everyone is 22,

and they all wear Hawaiian shirts

and Bermuda shorts

and go barefoot.

They are very happy,

standing and chatting

like guests at a massive cocktail party.

There is only one bathroom in heaven,

but that alright

because no one needs to go,

and if they did,

they'd always let someone else go in ahead of them.

I saw that everyone was in heaven,

even Hitler and Jack the Ripper,

because when they arrived

at the throne of judgment,

and saw what they had done,

and Jesus turned to them and said,

“I forgive you,”

they were so overcome

that they were completely transformed.

I heard the Hitler spends most of his time

washing the feet of twenty-somethings

who in this life were killed at Auschwitz at his orders

— not that their feet need washing

but because they enjoy it so much,

and when he tickles their feet —

— what laughter!

A woman turned to me and said,

“I saw Satan the other day;

he keeps going up to everyone

and saying, 

‘Can I get you anything?’”
