QUOMODO ORARE


Your most sincere prayers should be said
While facing south. Prayers you mean
For the most part should be muttered while the sun
Is distracted by flocks of birds flying in different directions.
Prayers you offer in case it turns out you mean them 
Should be said with a faint look of derision 
While wearing the robes of a deceased ancestor.
Prayers you don't mean at all should be said
With great precision and fervor but small, tight gestures.
