Methodist Hang Ups


the world
was always ending
you never knew
if you would ever
come out of it alive
on those sundays
the wife and son
of the reverend
weighed more than all
the members of
the choir put together
judgment day
cash registers
worked overtime
everybody wanted
to get to heaven
until somebody
up there farted.
