toward destiny's convenience stores
and soda shops
and libraries
to read religion for a shoe
that keeps the journey wise and dumb.
In a world of pedophiles and whores
who offer up the sacred kiss
the meat of saints is bought and tinned
...from whence they came...they have no clue
...and much less where they're going to
in this disaster of God's wrath
only that they always sinned
in doing what they always do
or failing even to do that
and that they met some cherished friends
on such a desperate path....
