for a new church, he tells me.
something
that fits
his way of faith.
no crazy stuff.
no men in gowns,
no snake handling,
no speaking in tongues,
or smoke and mirrors
no homily in Latin.
not Baptist either,
they don't like to dance.
or a church where
you have to sing a lot.
no fire and brimstone,
making you feel
worse when you leave
than when you arrived.
no stained glass,
or gold chalices,
no basket going around
and around
until you're tapped out.
just a nice simple thing,
he says,
maybe a place like
in the Sermon on the Mount.
