you're going to miss the first act

better hurry,
he'd say, smiling, his sunglasses
on as he ate
cheese
on crackers.
better hurry, you're
going to miss the first act.
of course
he was referring to church.
the five o'clock mass.
but i think he did
believe, deep down inside.
though he'd never
show it, that to him would
be a sacrilegious
act.
