My religion makes no sense
and does not help me
therefore I pursue it.

She doesn't get to say much in the official biography —
I believe they are out of wine, etc.,
practical things —
watching with one eye as he goes about the world
calling himself The Son Of Man.

while the shadows like long fingers
over the haystacks that sweep past
keep shocking him
because he is riding backwards.
