14,286. COPTIC CORNERS

COPTIC CORNERS
Not without logic, the Bertram
Father began saying his liturgy.
I tried not to squirm, but I did.
There's a certain bombast to
any of that, which I've never
rightly understood. Extra, the
crosses, and extra the words.
-
Renting a God for the occasion,
just like that, is a difficult chore
and you can't just change only
that which you wish. Domes
and fancy vestments. Gold
gilded icons and weeping
Mary Martyrs?
