-Of course not. I wish to be nice
too, and therefore will accede to
your wish.

-Only if you think about it.

Doorways
In the doorway of the abandoned
supermarket, he stood.

In the opposite doorway, a dollar

She spoke French, but only after

Hokey brought Coffee and Sandwiches
daily:
“Don’t give ME credit. I just took over
from the Earlys when they moved
to St Pete.”
A high school girl came along one
day last week, and sang a piercingly
sweet Happy Birthday to the woman.
The man nodded to her after they left.
That’d do.

Humble Pie,
Sliced Thrice
-Famed in song and story!
-For your humility.
-I blush!
-Don't! Others set the table,
and you moved the plates and
cutlery around.
-Looking pleasant.
-Or faking it.
-Skip the humble in the next life?
-Wouldn't hurt to blow your own
horn once in a while.
-What, blow? Just the merest tootle!
-Let us know you're human.
-So I should have balanced off...?
-Couldn't help yourself!
-Too much power in humility!

Two Future Saints
in fistfight re
who’s humbler.
Much verbal too,
but vulgar, never
Faith-Shaking.
And, being Churchmen,
gouging ruled in.
After, a pile of blood
and hair and sweat
and how!
Instant Forgiveness sug-
gested by other illumes,
but delayed.
Today’s Gang
of Saints
more realistic.

“But what do I
know?”
contributes too.
A mystery reading that “I”: I’m
expert and they’re
flailing? Or…
In the dark, oft-beset me,
encore?
Just samples, of course, from what-
ever weird amalgam makes you up.
Well, anyway, start with humility.
Will contrast you.
