Tenets
Four men stood
smoking by the mosque,
scorched tobacco
billowing
against Moroccan-style tile.
One among them paused:
Isn’t smoking forbidden?
In unison:
God is forgiving
Deliverance in the Information Age
I bought an app to track prayer:
religiosity in the palm of my hand.
It came with a compass,
tenet guide, settings for school of thought
Reminders for prayer,
supplication,
good deeds—
God in a few megabytes.
No option for rejuvenation.
No new feature for forgiveness.
If I clear data, will my sins vanish?
Can this silicone chip carry my pride,
contain my envy, my anger, my sloth?
Is this want for gilded grace not greed?
Crescent moon and star emoji,
little Mecca on my screen,
will you ask the angels for me
what salvation looks like
after 2016?
