Good Friday
by Charles Rice Goff III



As I celebrated the anniversary of the crucifixion,
the construction workers were pounding in their nails downstairs.
I could taste a bit of Christ's blood
as every 6:30 AM nail was hammered into my eardrums.
On Easter Sabbath the do-unto-you brothers rested, thank the Lord.
On Monday the devils returned with buzzsaws from Hell.
The Deity of Progress offered no mercy.
