poem #3

Empty Calories and Hippocracy

Little epiphanies
Like sugar pills
A casual breakfast in the cathedral

Annulled incursions
Like stale popcorn
A pound of cellulite for every ounce of faith

Judgment from Jurispudence; Jurisprudence from Legos

Pithy prayers
Like soft fudge
A spoonful of awe sprinkled fear

Smug luncheons
Like mildewed milk
A base for culturing antibodies

Double-chins from Dogmatism; Dogmatism from Doubt

Midnight mass
Like tacky fondue
An epicurean Eucharist of immodesty

Saline and sugar sacraments according to the Gospel of Gastronomy
Diabetes and obesity according to the Canons of Karma
