I will likely go to Mass Saturday.
Today,
I will likely cross myself those
Three times when no one is
Looking,
Kneel behind the
Silent blinds like I’m bowing
Before a great king in this
Townhouse.
I am not pleased with myself.
Not pleased with anything really.
I plan to confess this to a priest,
The next time I stare myself in the
Mirror.
My penance: life itself.

Beautiful. "My penance: Life itself." WOW, just wow. I am not a recovering catholic but I can absolutely relate to your words.
