in the morning post
an invitation to a wedding.

she doesn't want to go

her sister is a conservative Christian
rattling on about Leviticus
while sporting her new tattoo
and eating lobster at the Hotel

There is no irony.

In her mind the Bible says
"Do What Thou Wilt"
though there is some confusion
about just where that is
Deuteronomy, maybe,
or "The Letters of St Paul the Self Important"

The wedding is at 2PM
and the hotel has bed bugs.
She leaves, quietly,
asking for her money back
and wishes she could get her sister, too.
