lirik lagu who gets the pope's nose? - peter porter
it is so tiring having to look after the works of god
the sea will run away
from martyr’s feet, gay
dissipated florentines kiss tumours out of a man’s head
scheduled liquefactions renew saint’s blood
in andean villages starved inca girls
develop the stigmata
dying dogs pr~nounce the pater
noster on the vivisection table, the world
press report trachoma’d eyes that drip wide pearls
all investigated, all authenticated, all
miracles beyond doubt
yet messengеrs go in and out
the vatican fills up with paper. the faithful
work for a mеrchant god who deals in souls
was there ever a man in nazareth who was king of kings?
there is a fat man in rome
to guide his people home
bring back the rack and set the bones straining
for faith needs pain to help with its explaining
fill a glass with water and gaze into it
there is the perfect rule
which no god can repeal
having to cope with death, the extraordinary visit
ordinary man swills in a holy sweat
and high above rome in a room with wireless
the pope also waits to die
god is the heat in july
and the iron band of pus tightening in the chest
of all god’s miracles, death is the greatest
