if i wanted to
i could listen
to the sermon
again during
the next service
take notes on
the structure
consider the theme
or find some
mnemonic device
clever enough
to internalize
the strategies
he said might
lead to redemption.
instead I focus
on exactly how
his voice intoned
the words
how his perspiration
lit up the face mic
and i ask
not how my soul
might be saved
but what are
the three things
i need to know
to command a room
just so.
