IX.III
She remembers "lessons" given by the teachers
when she, a child, attended Catholic school
where all the cool kids hung out in the bleachers
and bent the strict "no gender mixing" rule.
The concept that the school always promoted
was that suffering was essential for the soul;
and in order for their students to be noted
making money for the church should be their goal.
"Every deed you do that can thought as selfless
sends a tiny piece of lumber up to God
which He will set aside to build the houses
of all those who will spread His loving Word."
