ACCOUNT OF MY DAYS
Sequence: 7
RELIGIOUS SCENE
on the wall of the steakhouse
next to the taxi building
someone has painted Leonardo's
Last Supper in bright colors
Jesus and His disciples
are threatened by the creeper
growing heavily over the bricks
and now it's raining so
they are wet and the creeper
is coming and the cabdrivers
are irritable and half-crazy
and all the disciples are shocked
by what Jesus has just said
while the buses rolled past
the most innocent one thinks

even give his soul to help
the Master have what He pleased
how could he do what is intended?
those less innocent are eager
to explain away the misunderstanding
Not on my life No I'd never
trying to convince each other you see
