She was a broad sword of a woman
the formidable Sister Mary Veritas
who with fossilized knuckles
played staccato on my skull
4 times 2 is not 10
Never was!
Had just then,
by some act of satanic benevolence.
a hatchet latched on to my hand
I swear I would've split the lady's head in two
Me all of 6, maybe 7,
an aggravated felon
What about her?
Starched white and 6 foot 4
hair cropped to the scalp
hidden beneath a veil of nunnery?
