God left

Not more than a mile from the Ripley302222s Museum
Full of the most insanely bizarre collection of crap
Anywhere in the world
is the oldest church in North America
in the shadow of a two-hundred-foot-tall cross.

The neatly manicured paths wound from the docks
Though a semi-tropical park
to the tiny stone building
Where I expected to find holiness

I found a tiny stone building
In a semi-tropical park
a few tourists

and nothing more.
