Moses Drives up the Mesa to Collect the Latest Checklist

Up the mountains look for ways
Immoral’s illogical—
Lying’s nine-tenths of the law.

The sound of engines running
Is the sound of your own thefts.
Pause a moment while reading—

No seriously—pause now
And review your life for crimes.
Can you feel the tragedy?

The real tragedy being
That there’s no way you can share,
No way everyone can share,

Simultaneously, all
Their personal lists of sins.
