missionary work

God forgive me, but
i'm too selfish for missionary work.

i need plumbing.
i need coffee.

i need a bar that makes a good martini.
i want to help,
that's not it, but at this point

in my life.
i need my bed and my pillow.

peace and quiet.
i don't want to dig a trench

or help plow a field.
milk a cow.

not to mention my biblical
knowledge is sketchy at best.

if that makes me a bad person

i'm sorry about that.
how about a check?

tell me how much and where
to send it to.

help me assuage my guilt.
