Bible Study
There are only guys
to my surprise. I,
the token woman, up early
A.M. to the company of men,
breakfasting in the fast track
restaurant of choice-- me
and a million hamburgers
served, it's said. Two men
read scripture in tandem:
neither one the boss, occasionally
marking a passage with a pen
after a sip of coffee and a bite
of sausage, hot pancakes,
maybe. Wonder if they knew
520 calories on the menu,
300 on mine, coffee negligible,
so am I eligible for extra
blessing? The java's good, and
not to be rude, I memorize
nothing but an Egg
McMuffin.
