in my head, I’m nineteen:

my physical body begs to differ

grey pubes

IX.II


It's many years since she perused the text

supposed written of the visions of St. John

when he observed the end of this world and the next

beginning when the sinners have all gone.

The second coming of the Christ into the world

when angels trumpet open all the gates of Hell

and those whom God has chosen say the Word;

ascend to Heaven on the final bell.

(Except for those who didn't get a chance

to ask forgiveness for their trespasses

before they died, but child molesters dance

in Grace if they paid priests to kiss their asses.
