when the mask fell off

it was
interesting how she prayed
over her meals,
went to church
three times
a week, listened
to the Catholic channel
on the radio
and had three sets of rosary
beads hanging
from her rear
view mirror.
not to mention the altar
she built in the house,
and the giant
cross she wore around her
neck the size of a spatula.
no one guessed or had
a clue
who she really was
behind closed doors, 
when no one was looking,
not even me,
until the mask fell off.
