Church-sanctioned confessions

no longer piquant

or priestly

sins don’t even need

diaries

nowadays

no ink and ebony quill

to quell, and no

wrinkled face to tell

My transgresses

are typed up clearly in the

blue light of a

search bar – an engine

from the gods of the

Industrial Revolution

My confessional reads:

“how to enjoy being with people”

“autism test”

“BMI for 21 yr old woman”

“How to stop being irritable”

“Advice for twenty somethings”

“Psilocybin mushrooms”

“Christian advice for twenty somethings”
