Summer Updates...

So, it's been a while since we posted. It's summer time here, and we're all probably even crazier than during the school year.

Keep emailing us though, (gc.wallis@gmail.com) and we'll keep posting.

Have a wonderful Summer!

Memorial 5.2.09


The air smelled of stale cigarettes
as the priest began.
Painter’s pants, clerical collar,
cheap sandals, eyebrow ring,
and I half expected him to be tonsured
when he took off his Abercrombie hat for the
Lord’s prayer.

Our Father…

Next to him was the addict
identified solely by his habit of
Molestation.
And yet, he too
prayed.

Forgive us our trespasses...

The pigeons provided the atmosphere,
frightening the crowds
that persistently fail to notice the loss of a man
and his bench.

For thine is the kingdom…

As it concluded,
I thought of Mike,
Virginia,
and thousands of others cursed
by the negligence of a country,
and the failure of a Church.

Amen.
