For the Man Harassing Women Outside an Abortion Clinic during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Pleasant it is to risk all for one’s faith

To stand joyfully in pathogenic rain

To Typhoid Mary the sinning world

And know that God will wink.

Pleasant it is to proclaim one’s faith

To thrust words into the bodies of others

To look upon one’s bloody fists

And know that one is clean.
