You were baptized by a dollop from a cool whip bowl
|
(finger flung)
|
Sulfer water, holy water from the drinking fountain of the high school
|
cafeteria
|
Among the great cloud when Margie whispered "Amen"
|
bulletins slapped back at the heat to move the moist dead air
|
I was still unborn, but I have heard the first hand
|
and Jack says that the body of love
|
and the hearts thereof can be baptized in the beads of their own sweat
|
|
Salt rings like the outlined shroud on the tomb of your skin
|
We saw it on the VHS
|
The building stood erect
|
The march and the singing tongues processed
|
The crucifix cut from Styrofoam swung flung over your shoulder
|
raining golden glitter from the glue-gun boarder
|
We thought about the easy yoke
|
My mind, my heart, choked,
|
