sometimeshedrovehimselfNuts
not all the time
but sufficiently
he found himself in storage
pulling through papers he hadnt seen in yearsLiar
he hadnt seen
in more than twenty yearsBetter
and
terribly he recognised
the stories the characters where he thought he wanted to take themDoesnt that
make you feel betterBetter to admit your abandonment your laissez-unfairenessBecause
they had no choice other than wait
until you were good and ready
Youre a selfish man
Nuts not
a good place for someone with a conscience
this wasnt one was it
smelled like a confessional
smelled like a confessional
and as a kid
Holy Communion he recoiled from the act of confession
he didnt feel it was sacred
he
listened in for kicks on the familys telephone their party line and all he ever heard was gossip if it wasnt why didnt they quit their yakking
on the line and go directly to the people who they were talking about and
settle their concerns
or gripes
or gripes
quit talking behind their backs
and if God was omniscient omnipresent as He was painted to be by the nuns who were
always lifting the heavy load occasionally
Father occasionally he strolled through class
to see how His children were progressing
If then God would know
his business wouldnt He
why would he address
the priest
Father wasnt Gods ear
Father wasnt Gods ear
No no matter what they were trying to sell
he wasnt buying
Nuts not
a good place for someone with a conscience
