‘I leave am for God’ Is the poor man's prayer When he submits to higher realms Transferring judgement to higher forces The answer to that prayer is often terrifying When you take another for granted Trampling on another because you are advantaged Usurping communal wealth because you are in charge Bleeding the flock you are supposed to pastor It...

She tinkers change someone left on the table waiting for brunch at the Bluebonnet Bistro, a hole in the wall with thick on the windows. Lost deep to thought, this rock ‘n roll liberal in her mid-twenties and sage satin stole, pockets a penny that weighs down the satchel strapped to her shoulder and swung under table, asway just above cherry red...
