Couple
-She has a reputation for sweetness.
-Deserved?
-Now and again.
-When not?
-Lady Macbeth!
-That tough?
-Add fists.
-How terrible!
-Oh I don’t know. She gives
as well as she gets.
-I don’t believe that, Coward!
You’re certainly stronger,
-But it’s all a kind of Catholic
Mutual Aid Society. I’m Head Priest,
she’s Head Nun. So, worry not.
-Uh huh? And who gets you under
control, Father?
-The Bishop! Her brother. He’s not
much in the pulpit, but practicing
his active brand of the Faith?
-I can remember your face marked
up once or twice.
-Never removes his ring!
-Well it’s all of it goddamn sick!
-Heal thyself!
-Gladly, since nobody gets smacked around.
-Many varieties of Truth.
-None bloody!
-I usually just begin agreeing with
Saints like you, and they eventually
depart with thumb up righteous ass!
-Won’t wave goodbye, then.
