Television preacher...
Dressed - slick and trendy -
arm gestures - posed -
stance of an actor
who's missed the big time...
Words - read from cue cards -
on auto - and flashy -
smile - wide and toothy -
practiced and styled...
Lacking in measure
and meaning and logic -
directed at losers
and minds in a groove...
The suit - hangs so neatly -
the words wear so sweetly
and offer an answer
with no question in mind...
But still - there are people
who listen with longing
and look for the ritual -
the safeness of same...
