Honorable Mention Confusing God with the Devil Bren Gentry Even with Preacher Tom hollering "seek redemption" "go out and sin no more" Grandma gripped superstition in her handbag. Once, she forgot a cherry pie when she left for a Church social but she would not go back,"badluck" she said. Grandpa wouldn't swat a fly off his nose without approval, after he called Preacher Tom a name in Hebrew he just sat and watched mice nibble flakes of Granny's crust. I didn't care for cherry, so I chimed in "blackberries a damn sight better." I saw Grandma grab the lye soap and I knew that my Hebrew tongue was in for a cleansin. I didn't get religion that year nor a blackberry cobbler but today as I plant flat feet inside leather, I hear Grandma whisper in my ear. "Always put your left boot on first, for luck!" |
