Mormon`s are everywhere
battalions of bicycling bachelors
with dark suits
and well cropped hair
we`re Mormons too
have been since `72
I`m riding between my brother and sister
in the back seat of a `67 Buick station wagon
with red vinyl seats
we stick by each other
and to those seats
we`ve been eating cheese and bacon sandwiches
our mother made for thirteen days straight in the August heat
and both my siblings are wakin` on those eggshells
as I will soon learn how to do myself
they play their quiet silly games
with their peashooters
as I sip luke-warm Sprite from a tin can
sold to me by a hunchback silly bastard old woman
a hundred miles back
who is probably the only person with good sense
in this part of the country
I still don`t know what to do god-awful bacon and cheese sandwich
but your body is your temple
God tells us so,
so drink up your milk
and reap what you sow
I mold the cheese and bacon sandwich into a ball in my hand
it kind of reminds me of Play-dough
I look around to see who is watchin`
and stuff it between the red vinyl seats
no one will find it
at least not for a couple of weeks
we`re in this big place now
it`s kind of like 1/2 of an blue plastic Easter egg shell
and there`s a hole in the top
where the sun cuts through
and lights up the room
and I hear all these male voices
telling me that black people are inferior
and it`s ok to have more than one wife
and as the dry dry breath of the utah sun warms me
I stand before a statue of Jesus that is far too big
and has held these folks hostage for so so long
and I gaze up at the nostrils of the sandstone savior
and wonder if it
can smell all this bullshit
cause I sure can
and I`m only 5 years old
