ON THE RIGHT SIDE

and so, Peter, we hear
you hauled ass to the Vaticanto confer with the other Peter,
or at least his current avatar

saw you heading to the basilica
swallowing as much incense
smoke as I, as
humble mortal,
would not have thought possible

strange, because it
is thermonuclear war you
worship not
anything low grade chemical

all that death and ovlivion
untold suffering
exactly believed to
be the engine
of history and
will of God

concern for light and humanity
the stuff of the anti Christ.
province of the Devil

thanks to you
(yes i feel I really must
thank you)

I know now with perfect clarity
exactly where I stand,
which
book, which
allegory
tells me
the truth about
the side I am on.
