Some doubt that I speak
truth
“Ten Saint Anthonys!” they
scoff.
But think; over seven
billion souls;
Ten Anthonys (eleven if
you invite
Antoninus of Florence along).
Thus, seven hundred
million people
Per Anthony, and that
excludes
The clamorous dead, who have
Their own prayers. (There
are tales,
Unconfirmed, of a St.
Antonina.
Since I am half rumor
myself
I sometimes see her, grey
cloaked
Shopping in stores which
closed
Years before I was born.
You wouldn’t
Believe the bargains you
can find there.)
