The Great Bill Collector

God’s customer service rep
Had to look up how to cancel
You account.

Meanwhile you keep writing
Bad checks at the state fair.
It's freezing and you lent

Your coat to the woman with the blue
Ribbon cherry pie. The thunder of
The hand-cranked carousel

Makes the fat woman selling
Bakelite crucifixes giggle devilishly
As she hands you a receipt.
