This is the cup of the new and everlasting covenant Shed for you and for all, so that our sins may be forgiven...
Do this in memory of Me.
In memory of the spooky parochial school halls In memory of the wizened nuns, quietly obedient In memory of the over-simplicity of rules In memory of false piety laced with hypocrisy In memory of crushing inadequacy
Do this, in memory of me, the child.
In memory of the child whose uniform never quite fit Whose body developed too early Who had trouble making friends Who didn't have enough discipline
Do this, do that, don't do this, don't do that So many tiny rules and expectations to love, serve and obey
