'But blessed are your eyes because they see, your ears because they hear! In truth I tell you, many prophets and upright people longed to see what you see, and never saw it; to hear what you hear, and never heard it. Matthew 13:16-17
Mass tonight at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Got to the third reading and second fag before the ushers were upon me. They waiting for the fucking collection of course, can't miss that. Spent the better part of my evening at Connolly's Pub on 14th, listening to a man of about fifty tell stories about his Brooklyn childhood 'til he fell off his stool. He stole my lighter, so here I am home again, smoking out the window and stubbing out on a stolen copy of the missal. Catholicism could use a few more cigarette burns.
