When the saints, performing inventory,
Reassembled themselves they had
Large numbers of parts left over. St. Thomas
For example, had fifty-six toes; St. Iago had
Almost five hundred teeth. Every single relic
Had worked wonders and now refused
To be decertified. Even those demonstrably
Nonhuman insisted on their rights so that
California --that substrate of Heaven --
Is crowded now with patchwork saints
Hastily run-up and willing to perform
Dubious miracles, no questions asked.
