This guy in a sub
being depth charged
opens his grin of a mouth
to sprays
purting down on his head
and streaming his face,
licks,
laughs,
yells out, “Damn boys,
but ain’t it salty!”
Another guy stuck
with himself killing
any life he can
without mercy
accepts the needle
and himself.
This guy who’s a monk i
n an abbey
gathers a roll of fat
at his waist in a fist
and, squeezing it hard,
wonders whose it is.
Another guy comes home
early and sick
to see his wife spread wide
to his friend
starts to sit down in a chair
but instead picks it up.
These guys all please God
more than any believe.
