the new pastor

pot bellied
with pie
and roast, the new pastor
greets each
member of his
flock at the door,
taking into his
hands
the offerings
of love
and taste.
he leans
onto the podium
and recites his practiced
sermon.
wondering less
about
redemption and sin,
and more about
tomorrow,
the roads untaken,
what life could have
been.
