the heavy weight

Your God would cut your throat
for ten dollars,
and I wouldn't lay odds
on what your devil would do if he knew
what you've said he can do.
I don't know the devil
you know, but better you don't
I hear. Yet there you go,
thumping that bible like it was
a punching bag, chapter and verse
you bob and weave, and it's some knockout
maybe, eventually. Only technically, I
don't believe you believe.
