"They transubstantiate him more and more.
It wouldn't matter, Lou, if he were Son
of Baʿal," Frank said. "Because their boy was flayed,
crowned, and crucified, the Jew baiters tore
down shtetls and ghettos, hunting Sanhedrin
chums. Ain't nothin' like a good crusade."

LEVITICUS 18 VERSE 22
~
A MAN WHO LAYS WITH ANOTHER HAS SINNED

the picket signs near Fire Island read.
"See the cute little tilde, Lou? Do You,
Mister Sun?" Frank said.

"They transubstantiate him more and more.

It wouldn't matter, Lou, if he were Son

of Baʿal," Frank said. "Because their boy was flayed,

crowned, and crucified, God afraid dupes tore

down shtetl barns and ghettos, one by one.

There ain't nothin' like a good old crusade."

LEVITICUS 18 v 22

I think this is one of your best, gm,

and as I hope you know, that is saying something. I'd give it ten stars if I could.

Highly recommended on the NPR thread in the poetry forum (http://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=254157).
