Most people
especially kids
pray for good things
to come to them:
prayer as metaphysical and venal tool.
I prayed only
for tuberculosis
so I would not have to go to my odious semi-private school.
(I also stood on the shed roof below my bedroom window on winter nights
shivering bravely for as long as ten minutes as a time,
in the hope that I would get pneumonia or rheumatic fever,
which I never.)
