Bite Sized

By Lauren Rocha

Jesus must love donut holes
Because that’s what the pre-K teachers fed us
On single white napkins
Right before prayer.
I tried not to eat one
But usually forgot
Until the teachers gave thanks to the Lord.
I imagined Jesus as a surfer
Wearing an orange Hawaiian shirt
Riding a wave
He had a mustache and beard
And wore a bucket hat.
He and I both loved sugar
And the donuts that came from
The place America runs to
On the go Communion
For babes and the busy.
