Salvation Poem

waving down a streetcar
in the middle of the rosary,
wild willy the wino rode on
past the cruxifixion
through several glorious mysteries
and was proceeding left
at the junction
of our father and vine
when suddenly
a late-model hail mary taxi
ran the light
colliding with the ill-fated
vehicle,
leaving everyone
in the aftermath
as strung out
as they had been
in the beginning...
