most of the commandments

i take my halo
out of the top drawer
and see if it still fits.
it's bent
and slightly rusted.
i turn it sideways, move
it up, then back
an inch.
it's been a long time
since i've been
good, really good.
without gossip, or
complaint.
it's been years since
i've haven't taken the Lord's
name in vain or
been jealous
or envious, or slandered
someone,
who got in the way.
but i haven't killed anybody,
or committed adultery, 
so that's a good thing.
