Heaven And Hell
As kids someone told us
You would go to hell if you
Ate meat on Fridays,
You would go blind if
You toyed with your thing
And a bunch of other stuff
That made no sense at all,
I remember sitting in a dark
Garden shed with cousins and
Friends and an older girl
Explaining how you wouldn’t
Go blind if the girls played
With your thing and you
Played
with theirs,
I’m not sure if she went into
Politics, but she married a cop
And showed us how a girl
Could give you glimpses
Of heaven while skirting
The fires of hell.
