smudges the black ashes
on our brow
at St. Patrick's
while
the stone arches,
the carved
saints and angels rise
around
and above us.
it's nice
to know that people
still believe in God,
have faith.
the lines are long
as we wait,
holding our
5th Avenue and Madison
Avenue
purchases.
our wrists and necks
dangling
with Canal Street
replicates.
