When I got to Heaven
the gates were listing
a ‘going out of business’
sale
The Angels on clearance
Saints on deep markdown
Grace and the Cherubs
e-tailed
When I got to Heaven
the Devil in line
waiting to go in
and buy
His credit card ready
Cerberus in tow
the damned and the wicked
— behind
(The New Room: January, 2025)

40% off --
That draws the customers in;
They like their bargains.
But at the end of the day
I have sold more and made less.
