her version of the Bible

i saw her
with a red pen editing
the bible
one day.
crossing out all the sins
she disagreed with.
what are you doing?  i asked her.
i'm correcting
God's word.
making it more up to date.
a lot of these
commandments 
are very old and seem more
like suggestions.
such as, i asked.
well, here it says adultery
is a sin,
but i think that's not
right.
if two people love each
other,
even though they're married
to other people,
adultery
should be okay.
you know, you're going to
hell, don't you? i told her.
i'll fix that part too, she said
and went
back to work.
fiery pit, pffft, she said.
