Kitchen Table Monologue 14

kitchen table monologues 14

we prayed hard once
to some obscure
dime store rag deity
the decrees
the pleas 
went unheeded
and we humbly
rose in accord
in disarrayed discord
more was needed
than this
may as well piss
into a warm southernly breeze
and save the skin 
on our knees
