savage sorority

Tenor

Sister Nora
a sinister nun and gangster
and why i leapt out the window of a school bus
and ran a mile home
for my catechism book

cruel ear twister, pusher, shover
then that sinister tongue too
her big boot and extra thick sole
no soul bone to pick with the world
for one leg shorter than the other

Sister Amelia Anne, her replacement
just as ornery and dangerous
though her girth and fat ass
were an advantage for the victim 
to stay out of her cane’s reach
as she surely used it

goddamn it though
the saving grace
Confraternity of Christian Doctrine
or CCD class was only an hour
a week
