Acts 9:1-21
Joey Morningstar
Repentance, to be sure,
but of a species far
less likely to oblige
sheepish repetition.
Repentance, you’ll observe,
glibly bears the bent
of thought revisited,
and mind’s familiar stamp
–a quaint, half-hearted
doubleness that couples
all compunction with a pledge
of recurrent screw-up.
The hearts metanoia,
on the other hand, turns
without regret, turns not
so much away, as toward,
as if the slow pilgrim
has been surprised to find
that sin is not so bad
as it is a waste of time.
