Nobody lives

through the preacher's teeth.

The whole process

is like an assembly line.

People pass through his gums

believing in the world

and travel down his throat

believing that they are the scum of the earth

in need of the acid

pooling his stomach.

The preacher hates all

that he cannot swallow.
