"Protect & groom

your genitals."

Forgive me Father for I have sinned,

it has been a long ass time since my last confession.

I started too late.

Ya know, sexually.

Pregnancy. AIDS.

Reputation. Purgatory.

Condom Nation.

Condemnation.

Adopt the aborted.

Abort the adapted.

What were my rites?

First Confession +

Confirmation =

A smitten with sin.

Right? Rite.

Boys & Nuns are

terrorists.  Protect &

groom your genitals.

You never know.

Exculpation! Exaltation!

Trust only in God,

$ money even tells us $.

I will wash your feet

with my own brown locks.

For I have sinned

with a brown boy.

Ribcage connection.

Why apple pie?

Couldn't resist.

Good thing I have

very long hair &

an orchard ripe & ready.

No, this will not be

the last washing of feet.

Hail Mary, here I come.

Forty-three times

then I am forgiven.

Now & at the hour

of our death.

Amen.

What would I tell

Father Quinn

in confession?

Jesus H. Christ,

weren't these girls

scared sacred too?

I had soooo many
