Jag Hops off the Window Sill

“My father’s Higher Power was a lightbulb,” he says.

“A 60-watt incandescent.”

Jag tells us how he used to go to Al-Anon meetings

before his father drank up all their savings

and started talking with his fists.

“AA lets you believe God can be anything or anyone,” he says.

“Like God can be Buddha or a ceiling tile or even a lightbulb.

It doesn’t really matter. As long as you believe that something

is your Higher Power.

I ask Jag if AA would let Colin Krusher be God.

“I know Colin is more like a fallen TV angel, “ I say.

“But he’s been resurrected four times on my favorite show

and he’s the only angel who’s lasted through series nine

so that pretty much makes him immortal, if you ask me.

Plus, in real life, Colin founded a charity that gives away shoes

and umbrellas and mattresses to old people who haven’t

had a new bed in like half a century.

So Colin deserves to be God way more than a 60-watt.”

Jag nods and looks at the floor.

“Yeah. I guess Colin could be God,” he says.

“But just so you know,

that lightbulb thing

didn’t turn out too good for my dad.”
