when he said bible i heard his southern accent and he had a face i expect all pastors must have a round open honest face that will always be a boy's face though its owner may rightly call himself a man near my age though i hardly call myself a man i have seen this face before whether in life or a dream i ca not tell i might've seen him on the street once twice who knows and his pastor's moon face reminds me of something some distant light my life used to own one night on my birthday the moon was so strong it cast shadows i could see to the far hill and back it was all clear to me the moon has not done that in a long time its face has been obscured by clouds for weeks and that boy on the bus his face i've forgotten i thought i recognized a good number of people on that bus who i did not know at all
