go and sin no more

the faith
healer comes to town
in a white suit
and bright lights.
he fills
the room with
broken hearts
and limbs,
lazy eyes,
and kidney stones.
he has his work
cut out for
him with only
a ten gallon
drum of holy water.
some feel better
at the end of
the night, some
feel worse.
but all leave
with one thing in
common, their purses
and wallets feeling
thin, relieved
and light.
