Even Meat Can Pray. by Mendes Biondo

it was a press conference
and it was boring
an event about numbers
about poor people
and immigrants
they spoke about numbers
while real lives were starving

behind me a nun
white pure rough dress
a huge pair of mustaches
and a grumpy face
the spanish inquisition in her eyes

I looked at my smart phone
it rang silently

just to let you know I masturbated myself right now
while thinking to you and me having sex
    a message from my woman came in like a cannon shot

the nun behind me seen it
she saw also the wallpaper of my smartphone
a work of art made by a friend of mine
a pair of giant tits swinging happily
the same pair of happy tits the nun never had

I felt her shame on my shoulders
on the back of my head
on my bones
even the air was shaming me for that happiness

at the end of the press conference
her eyes met mine

you're disgusting

she told me with her body

it's my way to pray

I said with my smiling grin
