Bread


Some people, perhaps a multitude,
will swear blindly that a man
called Jesus, fed five thousand of us
with just a few loaves and some fishes.
Or they’ll tell us that their brother’s
sister in law has an auntie who knows
someone at work who has a friend
who is married to an older man,
who ate a salmon sandwich once
that came from a picnic hamper
that a friend was given by a mate’s uncle
who might have been in the area at the time.
If you ask me, that would be a fucking miracle
if it wasn’t one of those urban myths.
