White Sale


When I got to Heaven
the gates were listing
a ‘going out of business’
sale
 
The Angels on clearance
Saints on deep markdown
Grace and the Cherubs
e-tailed
 
When I got to Heaven
the Devil in line
waiting to go in 
and buy
 
His credit card ready
Cerberus in tow
the damned and the wicked
— behind
