8-word poem

Searching for
The keys

Jesus.

I mean: Mary.

I know this is old news, but I thought I'd relate a similar experience of religious fervor run amok (also known as a good ol' LSD flashback).

During a recent lunch break, I was minding my own affairs and unwrapping a bar of dark chocolate. Suddenly, I found myself hearing a relentless chorus of weird, droning voices. Somehow I was compelled to pick up a large bone and beat a co-worker to death.



Fortunately, there was no large bone handy, so instead I whiled away the next couple of hours playing online 8-Ball at Orbitz Games.

The end.
