in a meeting

you call your brother
but he's in a meeting.
a meeting means,
lunch,
or dinner, or something
involving
a gathering of talkers
discussing
God.
they do a lot of pot
luck dinners at
the non-denominational
church he
over sees.
old women
young women bring him
cakes
and pies, freshly baked
oatmeal cookies.
there is lots of kissing
going on.
cheek to cheek, nothing
that would raise
anyone's eyes.
it's a good life if you
can get it,
white bread and butter.
a happy
way to go, praise God,
but he's so busy, too
busy to take your call.
