Good Friday
My son calls to ask if eggs are meat
I assure him he can eat eggs
on Good Friday.
Its amazing what things stick.
We question the deity
and avoid his house
except to mark milestones
with ritual rites of passage.
it is said those who study the book
come to believe in it less and less
more mythology than history,
releasing rote acceptance,
exchanged for intense questioning
not quite ready to give up the cultural forms.
