Damnable Me

 

Went to see the busy bishop
for moral restoration
and potential eternal salvation
of my rapidly degrading soul

His grim sister receptionist
doing her screening duties
encouraged me to first pray alone

and then come back tomorrow

when they would not be there

to hear my confession

Then she picked up the phone
and ordered take out
leaving spiritually wanting me
deprived and hungry

on the cold cathedral steps

with only my disillusionment

to keep my now faithless ass warm
