altar boys
by j. watters
sometimes we unzip our pants
and let our dicks
hang out
underneath our robes
because
nobody will see

sometimes we drink half the wine
and refill the bottle
with water
or piss
because
we know he keeps track

sometimes we eat the extra bread
and laugh
at the fools
who think its flesh
because
we know its just bread

sometimes we spill candle wax
all over the altar cloth
on purpose
again and again
because
we know it pisses him off

sometimes we hide in the vestibule
and hardly breathe
when he tries
to find us
because
he’s drunk in the morning
again
and that’s when
he wants to touch us
