Duck behind the ditch like a killer.
You don’t need reminding of your sins,
Mothers are for that, each wrong, a thriller.
Jesus is coming.
Hide your Bible,
where you’ve underlined the dirty parts,
and hope you won’t be liable.
Jesus is coming.
Get a cross for good luck.
He is pointing at my desk and saying,
“You may bob or weave, but with me you are stuck.”
