It may have been the hundredth anniversary
of perpetual war and we had long ago
gotten rid of the party inventing it,
and shamelessly riding it to power,but
the concept proved forever irresistible
to their opposites. Anyway,despite
warnings we decided on a picnic.
A smashing,shaded grove,and
we had everything along.
Iced beer and sodas,potato
salad to die for. Diverse
picnickers defying authorities,
we even brought clergy! Un-
like Hollywood stereotypes,
they like a good time
and know great songs!
As we had suspected,a warrior soon
materialized among the sycamores,
ordering us to depart,not leave
home again without permission.
Sister Dorothea responded, “Shut
the fuck up! We're sick of all
your paranoid shit!” When he left we
asked about her outburst. “Vulgarity
is not a sin. Or God would’ve
destroyed this country by now.”
