The Information Super Highway

is busy this morning,––

what with the annual get-together

over coffee, early evacuations,

and getting the kids ready for school.

Post-It notes on the fridge point the way

to prepared sandwiches.

Old friends scrutinize the pact they’ve signed:

The "Articles of Mutual Un-Responsiveness".

Church bells ring the calling to the faithful,

Mayoral proclamations are read on the steps

of City Hall and at the Gates to the Junkyards.

The skies open.
Google wills it!

––And the Saints come to harmonize, shaking the hands
of other Saints: “Good to see you lookin' so well, Armand.."
––Now come the dead Priests begging for intercession,

lurking without torsos through the crowded plains of purgatory.

––O' ye Priests!! The Virgin's got plans of her own and she's lookin

real, real sweet.
