Remember
the Sabbath day
to keep it holy
Remember
the Sabbath day
to keep it whole
to slip out the last worship service
respectfully of course because
the game starts at 12:15 and
the tickets are 45-yard-line
Remember
the Sabbath day
to keep it available
for the sales at J Crew
and Old Navy and Macy’s
and Sunday brunch (all you can eat),
and the bicycle ride starts at 7
Remember
the Sabbath day
the day we thought was meant
for rest, but more than that
the day designed to confound
the rest, the day created
to explain
the rest.
Remember
the Sabbath day.
Remember
the Sabbath day?
