Saint Anthony

the nurse asks Anthony if he
would like some Neosporin
for his wound
and he tells her
he already put toothpaste
on it

yesterday Anthony told me
he's going to meet Loretta Lynn soon

meanwhile he roams the hallways
wearing shorts over his pants
singing songs like
"swollen eyes that realize/but that's okay/
jesus loves you, anyway"
and "there is mist on the dew and jesus
loves you"

I met Anthony on Sunday
he said it couldn't be Sunday
it had to be Monday
'cause his sister went to Catholic Mass
on Sunday
I said,"No. Today is definitely Sunday."
but I couldn't
prove it.
