May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,
on Robson street
she sits next to a streetlight
with bare feet
on a newspaper
rattling a Tim Horton’s cup
when I walk by
I stare down at the sidewalk
and speed up
the love of God the father,
when I first heard
Reverend Falwell
linked 9/11
to homosexuality
I think my exact words were
“that dude needs
to get punched”
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
the awkward man
smells like curry and body odor
stationed himself
next to the coffee
after the morning service
last week he explained to me
how the communists infiltrated
the Democratic Party in 1968
and how the Apostle John
foretold this very thing in Revelation 12
I was nodding off during the sermon
and I know my church values
strong, delicious, freshly ground coffee
but I skip my cup this morning
leave quickly, skillfully
avoiding eye contact with
the awkward man
