As a kid, I played
At Mass. I was the Priest.
I gave my sister Communion
In our plastic-draped, pastel living-
Room in our one-bedroom home
In our barrio in ritzy Westchester
In New York. We weren't allowed
In the living-room. But in
For penny -- in for pound.
We broke sugar cookie hosts.
We have no pictures;
We didn't document sins.
If I led down the aisle,
Would you convert?
