But sainthood, I learned soon enough, is a fateWorse than life, nights on call for the demonsIn a vomiting lamb, a dry breast, a broken radio,And days spent parroting the timeless adages,Spent arbitrating water rights, property lines,Or feuds between rival herdsmen over scrub brush,Spent blessing every bride and anyone's big-belliedFourth or fifth wife, praying that they deliver sons.I thought back to the time, not ten feet from him,I heard a homily delivered by old John XXIII,Sounding wholly seraphic in his murmured Italian.
