i
she
was kind
to
outsiders, always
a
defense witness
for
anybody living
on the
fringe
I once
asked her "If Jesus came back
and
asked you to do one thing
would
you do it?"
she
smiled
and
said nothing
later
confided in me
she
felt Jesus wanted her
to
finish college
get a
religion degree
become
a pastor
so she
applied for a student loan
went
back to school
for
two weeks, then
declaring
there is no God
dropped
out
ii
the
loan dogged her
she
moved out of town
a
defense witness
for
everyone scrapping their way
through
an alternative lifestyle
fell
in love
with a
heroin addict
the
rest is calculable
simple
math, but exponents
must
be tacked on
to the
grief
spread
liberally
amongst
us all
