The Pharisee

The Jester, thinking himself hidden
In his cashmere dark olive single-breasted Ralph Lauren,

Dipped a fresh strawberry tart into a cup of rancid sour cream.
He intoned with studied compassion
"Hate the sin.
Love the sinner."
After the wry pause, allowing fragile hope to bloom,
"But for God's sake, don't let him in."
