Dollar Fifty Redemption
His eyes ooze over the congregation,
Screen-dotted heads bob like gulls,
While picture-in-picture porno breasts
Heave
To the swell of "Amazing Grace."
He lets the slight mint of stamp glue linger,
And palm worn Washingtons
Glaze dull eyes at the white walls of security envelopes.
PO Boxed and stamped,
He floods dollar fifty salvation to stately Southern men
With crocodile mouths,
Who glitter like fool's gold
And kiss like Judas,
Hawking the white blood of a crucified lamb
To forgive plain, brown packaging and back issues of Hustler.
Praying God will release his soul
For Italian leather interior.
