One faith stands out. It does not teach that souls
Exist and does not say they don’t. It follows that
It does not say that god or God controls
The immortality of man or cat
Since soul is not involved, since soul is not
Existent or yet otherwise. Instead
It deals with just one moment, one mere dot
Of fact, a slice of fresh or mouldy bread.
That’s all. Eternity is not involved.
The second passes. Bread does not become
The flesh of Christ. No sinning is absolved.
The slice is not infinity or crumb.
The slice is just a slice, no less, no more.
A woman’s just is a virgin or a whore.
