There are no pool tables
in heaven,
the recherché-play
of billiards balls
is not for them.

So what do they do?

while we work overtime—
struggling with the mortgage
of too big a house,
or far from home
serving as a pawn of war?

Surely the Devil is hiring!

But the “good deeds”
during which an Angel
flies at our side
for this both Heaven
and Earth await…

so come on,
do a little kindness—
bring an Angel to her
wings!
