I Put Some Childish Things Away

Peter was there, too, when I screamed about the gobs
of the modern to my eighth graders.  Peter listened
with my students and accepted candy.  He was Saul,
the first king, to me, not the persecutor.  I want to play
chess with Timothy.  I don’t care what anyone tells me.
That religion which would have me as a member must
honor a false god.  God is good to us.  We need not know.
