The halo, the sign–

because you cannot tell a saint

on the street,

because you cannot tell a saint

in the church,

because you cannot tell

a saint without a scorecard,

because you cannot tell.

I would like to touch a halo,

the perfect arc, golden.

I bet it would warm my cold hands

with the solace of its glow.

My good friend Frank

is no saint,

as he would readily admit.

But he has his angelic moments.

I want to believe we all have angelic moments,

but I have come to believe

there are men without hearts

saying mass in the church

of Mama Anything.
