the guilty nun

constantly, without fail,
you misplace the name
with the face, confused
with who, or what or
where anyone might be.
you would convict
the wrong person every
time in a police line
up. you are the worst
witness in the world
despite being such an
astute observer of
the moment. you would
point to a nun, staring
at her face and say
yes, absolutely your
honor she's guilty
of that crime. murder
one. just look at her,
without a doubt,
without that habit,
she's definitely
the perpetrator,
she's the one.
