Faith Fiction Fact

---

my brain’s a purse in which
I keep my stash
if my purse strings are loose
I might add to its load
when new coin comes to town

but if I tighten down
the purse strings of my mind
they’ll garrote its capaciousness
and all that god would have me be
may be hopelessly consigned
to dangle from their noose
.
