Lawrence Hall, HSG
The Gates of Hell
& Ur F8v Bible Slogan Tee
A friend did not leave the church of his youth -
Like a foundering ship it slipped beneath the waves
Sloshings of fashions, shopping-mall usages
And dangling Peavey speakers listing to port
There were not enough bongos and guitars
To keep everyone afloat in a theological storm
A committee sold off the parking lot
There’s a day care now in the parish hall
He signed off his articles for the drowsy watch
And took to dark baptismal waters in despair
