The Two

By Adam Gaucher

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The two meet late one July-like day in a church which holds a strong belief in that the exploitation of the natural female form enhances spirituality. This church, which is known to enlighten its patrons during preachings to an almost orgasmic level, stands proud in a small eastern plains town in the northern United States. It was decided by a jury of six that the legal drinking age be lowered to 12 years seeing that their state had no highways in which to be blackmailed by the US government anyway (Of course they also had the mentality that if all should fail, they could simply explain to the officials that somehow a typing error had slipped by undetected [Even though this is quite the classic excuse, the theory holds ground in that the individual responsible for all documented legal matters was only 14 at the time, and also quite drunk]). The jurors themselves had been tripping on a primitive form of synthetic peyote discovered by a native of the town who declared that the drug had "fallen from the sky into my dreams." He also discovered that once an individual had taken the drug, one only requires a single hour of sleep for complete rejuvenation and biological repair. This satisfied the economy very well, so declared was the drug legalized immediately. The country became so wealthy that the government was able to grant the military enough money to finish "inventing" the "Barometric Revolving Object to Thoroughly Extinguish Resources," or, B.R.O.Th.E.R.s. These flying devices were designed specifically for the purpose of espionage, to keep an eye on all citizens of the US itself. Needless to say the crime rate dropped dramatically, and all seemed quite peaceful. However, one day a priest realized that because of the "separation of church and state" loophole in the US Constitution, the Brothers were essentially, by law, not permitted to infiltrate any religious establishment, so it was declared that the activity never to be practiced again.
