we miss you!

I see that St. Bernadette's
is open for business once again.

the lot is full.
I see father smith with one of those

Styrofoam board signs
standing on the edge of the road

flipping it around as they like to do.

there's a big blue arrow on it
pointing towards the church.

we're open, it says, come on in.
free communion without confession.
this week only.

no penance, no guilt, no need
to even kneel. come on in. we

miss you. cash only.
