A couple of years ago, I was introduced to the poetry of Taylor Mali. This one, “Totally Like Whatever, You Know?”, is probably my favorite of all. In fact, after I read it for the first time, I immediately printed out a copy and taped it to my office door. It stayed there for over a year.
What I enjoy about Mali’s work, and this piece in particular, is that he is able to provoke thought, challenge culture, and make you laugh all at the same time. Brilliant! Though his words should challenge anyone who claims any sort of conviction, they are especially challenging for those who follow Christ….enjoy!
