HOUSE PRIEST

"And Micah consecrated the Levite;
and the young man became his priest,
and was in the house of Micah."
-- Judges 17:12

The painter comes today.
He’ll cover over streaks and
stains we’ve committed
and make it look as though
we’ve led a pure, folly-free
existence here.

Call it our
Immaculate Deception.
