Pigmas 2022-23 30 December

[CRNDLSM]

I was definitely crazy during the time.
I was working for my dad 
at St. Anne's Catholic church,
media technician, recording audio / video
lectures and duplicating them
on CDs for public access.
I had dropped out of confirmation classes
before they even started, hiding
in the playground...
I met Jesus at a retreat center
hallucinating through my troubles,
met him again at another.
It was after those retreats,
working at the church, saving
money to journey to Nashville.
Only two months in, they found
I was never confirmed, never 
been to the classes.  They asked 
if I wanted to, and I said sure.
The only day available was November 1st.
All Saints Day.  

I was ushered through so quickly,
completely unqualified,
but I could feel all the saints
present, approving, yet all I can think,
is fuck the system.

Thanks God
