Christ
Whatever else He is or was, I bet Jesus Christ gives really good hugs. Anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi—the year of our Lord. The year of our misery, followed by a year of still more misery.
"Everybody thinks this about their favorite celebrities, but I truly believe that Christ and I could be friends."
Thanks to @lespritlit.bsky.social for providing an excellent home for my poem-essay about Jesus!
