3603. GEORGE

GEORGE
George is walking the street again.
This is not Brooklyn, mind you, but
some other, more settled, place
where he can walk alone, scanning
the streets and curbs for wanton profit
and small change  -  which does seem
strange to me. He is a Catholic priest,
you see. I'd wonder that they all already
have a place, all these parish priests and
missionary men, not needing change or
money. Not wander, pray! Speak the Breviary:
all those crazy words and codes. Single,
wandering man George, Adam alone,
is out wandering again.
