On Mass and a new poem
The virtual Mass today dealt with the Old Testament story of familial brothers killed for religiously refusing to eat pork when authorities wanted them to. What are you willing to die for? Eventually something.
I actually like a bit ‘of bacon in my meals. The standup comic Jim Gaffigan has several jokes about how tasty bacon is.
“Calm” by yours truly
Calm down.
Don’t sound the alarm.
We mean no harm.
And become…
If need be, numb.
And find someone
Who helps you hum.
Someone.
