Upon Going to St. Mary Mag's.

Hallelujah

today is a day
unlike
any other

because every Sunday
we celebrate Mary
the unwed mother

Jesus
John
Judas
and all the others

who have debts unpaid
beds not made
and haven't prayed
in years
smell the incense
kiss the buttresses.

Sunday, the day
the Lord hath made.
I will kiss ass and
be glad in
priest and hymn.

Amen.

this made me laugh. pretty cynical, though, for your first church service at oxford, yeah? ;) also, like the rhythm.
