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.
