CAUTION Yellow CAUTION Tape CAUTION at CAUTION
the CAUTION Last CAUTION Supper CAUTION

Trinity Sunday – a cosmic leap indeed
From the second week in Lent until now
We bless ourselves with holy chemicals
And the awkward elbow-bump of peace

25% capacity in the Upper Room
Between each disciple an empty chair
And yellow CAUTION tape here and there
As Jesus lifts His mask to speak the Eucharist

But after three months, how wonderful
To be invited to the Table again

Right on. The elbow bump of peac=, holy Lawrence I believe you ju$t coined a brand new virus phrase there. I cannot fix the typos on the tablet except intermmitently, and have no spell check, so you're getting the painful unedited version. I don't think it would pass the robot test.

The IBM Selectric was the apogee of technology. There's much to be said for the Underwood, too, with its Jules Verne mechanisms and decorations!

I am typing this on a made-in-China assemblage of plastic that tattles all my secrets. But as one of the Lizard People I am immune to prosecution, gamma rays, and satanic crawfish.
