the big eraser in the sky

thank god

for erasers, for delete

and back space

buttons

thank god

for return to sender

for spam

for

a way to rid ourselves

of past mistakes.

the ocean washing away

what's written

in the sand.

thank you, lord,

for lawyers,

and bishops,

who tell us to sign here,

it's annulled, it's over,

go forth and have fun,

at last 

you're a free man.
