Poem[edit]
In the wooden silence
genuflecting fornicators
seek penance and false-toothed
idealists throw grub steaks on the offering plate
light a candle for the sinners
light a fire
self-pronounced prophet, parable seeking Protestant
preaches his diatomic dogma,
disembowelling indiscreetly.
Supplicate
congregate
the world looks better through stained glass
light a candle for the sinners
set the world on fire
Falsities
Falsities
Falsified, Factuality’s
All sitting like eager sponges,
soaking up the tertiary realities of life.
