What is it that makes us believe?




Comfy-Communion
by Happy Hiram

I brought my friend to Episcopal mass
because Catholic church always drove him ape
I hoped for outlet for his struggling faith
and to help his religious mania pass.

Strange and adult, slightly sinistery
I remember watching mass in Latin;
now talky priests in vestments of satin
breaking the zen, killing the mystery

The feminine priest says familiar prayer
but she offers communion in 4 ways
Whichever feels comfy”, the blonde priest says
and I know why I'd never go back there,

Not like real church.” my friend said as he laughed
and my hopes to find him a path were dashed.
