Dear Dodge, It’s Us
Some people starve themselves in the name of their god
Others eat fish, slaughter lambs, break bread, swallow wafers
We ate what was in the fridge, especially if it was about to go bad
Some wear headscarves, hijabs, yarmulkes, turbans
Others wear fox furs, bonnets, straw brims
We wore second hand ski hats most of the year
Some travel to Mecca, some take the carriage to meeting
Others whisper beneath vaulted ceilings to better communicate with their lord
We just prayed to our truck’s starter to spark on those godlessly cold New Hampshire mornings
