Bad Habits

After the first blush of sin comes its indifference. - Thoreau

Dirty Habit (Art.com)

it was just another day of choir practice

the nun shook her habited head in disbelief

"what am i going to do with you boys"

"making all that noise with your electric twangers"

"and drum bangers"

"you're so fresh"

"shaking your flesh"

"you should be praying, repenting and starting afresh"

"instead of rocking the holy creche"

Author's Note
