All Over the Place

Universals

A very long wait
and some of us
getting rowdy

when the lowest
thief from our place,
scarlet and smirking,

gets rushed past.
The last view is of his
back,and that of the angel,

subsumed by the glow.
Jesus Christ! I must ex-
claim, Fix is in even here!

Some of us,hissed St Peter,
watch what we say.
And how we say it!
