Praying For Prayers

They take over the lunch room Making a huge display of praying Keeping their heads down Loudly praying The rest of us do not roll our eyes or anything These are the same women who never bring to potlucks Yet fix two plates extra for their families We do not say a word But I suspect many of us pray for them Even the ones who do not get a plate For we almost always run out of food before the non public prayer's lunch shift.

I'm trying to wrap my arms around this one, in terms of what exactly's going on here, but I'm afraid that my arms are too short. Interesting... :) gw
