repent

all morning
i listen to the radio station.
the religious
station,
where one after another,
all day,
a different preacher
comes on
to make me feel bad
about my life.
there is a sermon about
marriage,
about consumption,
about lust,
about materialism.
by four o'clock
i realize how much of a
sinner i am,
and how i need to repent,
be kinder.
to care about everyone,
not just the people
i'm unfortunately
related to, but also
to the annoying strangers
i meet on the street,
or who drive behind me
tailgating
in their cars.
