drive through religion

I see over at the church
the new drive through
arrangement.
the priest is out there
with a long black hose
hooked up
to a tank of holy water,
spraying the cars down.
he has a megaphone
and says what needs to be said
as the cars
ride through,
the passengers crossing themselves,
repenting
taking the communion wafers
as a nun in earth shoes hands
them through the windows.
it's quick and easy. no fuss
no muss.
in and out, then off to breakfast
at Dennys.
i'm not sure if the Vatican
knows about this, but
hey, they seem to adjust
to whatever the current
times are.
