When you die you go to Heaven or your

soul does for God's judgement and if you've been
good you stay forever but if bad you
go to Hell for eternal punishment
-- that's what they tell me at Sunday School so
I just smile, when I can, and say Yes ma'am,
thank you again for the heads-up
but I
think that if I go to Hell they will, too,
all they are better than I is older,
25 or so to my 10 and they've
got fifteen extra years to sin like mad
and make me look like a goddamn saint and
I'd tell 'em so but they'd tell my parents,
which means I wouldn't be honoring my
father and mother. Which would mean grounded.
