Bloody Sunday
Now that lent was over
I could get back on with my life
& my sinful ways
Habits & wishlists
have changed dramatically
over the years
but I tell people I’m pretty much
the same as I’ve always been
I don’t go to Easter Mass anymore
mainly to avoid the crowds
& their seemingly good intentions
After brunch
I retrieved my stash
that was miraculously untouched
for forty days & forty nights
As for dessert I mixed myself
a Bloody Mary garnished w/the works
found a quiet place away
from all the noise
& enjoyed a bit of an old staple
called hashish under glass
april two thousand twenty-three
