LI BAN

Speaking as a mermaid I
Consider saints unnatural
Creatures who benefit
Unfairly from having unlimited
Lines of Credit from the Bank
Of God. Speaking as a saint I
Suspect mermaids to be dubious
Metaphors inspired by
An unhealthy distaste for sex
And women in general.
Speaking as both : The Universe
Does things it will probably regret
If ever it comes back to its senses.
