The Napkin

God took a vacation

when time had run out

Rethinking his opus

replanning devout

 

His Angels in limbo

the devil on leave

Heaven a sublet

sin now reprieved

 

Faith worn and tattered

the bible debunked

Crusades a bad memory

the Grail marked as junk

 

He orders a cocktail

the waitress comes back

A napkin — her number

salvation highjacked
