the shopping spree

i go into the Catholic
book
store on King Street to browse
around.
i grab a cart
and push
it down the rows
of books
and crosses.
i'm the only one there.
there's
holy water in little
jars.
books on saints,
psychology books
combining God and science.
how to pray
books.
paintings of Mary,
of Jesus.
glow in the dark statues.
bracelets and rings.
rosary beads.
a wide assortment of
Holy
things.
Sister Mary Margret,
behind the counter
in her new age
nun garb,
asks me if i need any help.
to which i say.
don't get me started.
