Butler Pennsylvania 43


Sunday School



They looked straight ahead
while passing him
that Sunday morning
along the side of the church
where the roof jutted out
just low enough to protect
the sleeping form lying there
blanketed in plastic and tarp.

It was the presence
of the dog beside him
that disquieted them
when seated inside
while asking themselves
how a mere pup could put up
with a good-for-nothing
such as that.
