From Ash Wednesday by James W. Bailey

A poem...Stand in the commercial cathedral...among cold stares...among cold hearts...among cold souls...Dream in the commercial cathedral...thoughts of pure logic...thoughts of pure intent...thoughts of pure purpose...Pray in the commercial cathedral...for the salvation of the abandoned life...for the salvation of the abandoned spirit...for the salvation of the abandoned conscience...Live in the commercial cathedral...beside the level horizon...beside the level field...beside the level body.
