SLIGHTLY
I walked past the Hellenistic Orthodox church
& the sun was reflecting
on the GOLD
of the ICONs painted on the wall
I should walk this way
I THINK
& then the bells start chiming
it was seven o'clock
I had been trying
to walk faster
I THOUGHT
maybe I would beat my time
BUT
I got there 7:20 so no faster
BUT
I stood there and listened
& looked at the icon
that hand gesture*
*I know from art history
makes it a christ the pantocrater
which probably is just
trivia
BUT my BRAIN, ya know
I was still going over my bit
I had no idea
at THAT point
I was gonna bail on doing it
