The Private Life of a Guardian Angel

Pat Raia

 

I 

 shoot dice

with 

 the sinners

and 

 extol 

the souls

 of the saints

and 

 I

arm wrestle 

 the devil 

for pocket change.

I smoke 

 too much

and

 I drink

too much

and 

 I overeat

 whenever

I can.

 Still 

I’m  there

 when you 

need me.

Always.

 I am…

After

 I finish

this cigar.
