April 24 Poem on Prayer

Cheating at Prayer 1

It hurts! It hurts!

With mother, band-aids
Appeared, bearing lady-bug
Designs. With God, a nod

Yes—and?

Cheating at Prayer 2

You don’t love me.
If you loved as much
as the preacher says,
I’d be happy.

Happy. Hmmm. I see.

Cheating at Prayer 3

This is really the last time
I’m asking You for a favor.
If it doesn’t turn out right
I’m done.

OK then.
See you tomorrow.
Same time.
