Holy Punchers

I think hell is like a midnight grocery store.
Shelves filled with burning crucifixes and pestilence.
Bloody-black water up to the necks of Half-souls.
Groping mindlessly in the dark...
Searching for God in brackish hopelessness. 
Flint and wooden carts colliding-
Black water biters abound.

The checkout line is a turnstile. 
Manned by faceless, dripping things.
Wielding holy punchers.
Eternally pocking your debit card soul.
While howling      Who's Next!
