    A pastor's wife tells the youth group about seeing a boy hustling down the sidewalk armless and barefoot as an example of faith in God, but the narrator knows the boy and that he uses his feet to light cigarettes and pass joints, suggesting the wife's view of God's work is naive.

    Wingless

    by Michael Riedell
    If youve ever seen a boy
    hustling down the sidewalk on a skateboard,
    barefoot and armless,
    with just the bumps of his shoulders under his T-shirt,
    youd know why my pastors wife,
    bright-eyed and saved,
    told our youth group about the teen shed seen that day,
    how the Lord works in mysterious ways,
    how we are all like wingless angels,
    that anything is possible if we believe
    and have faith in Him.
    And if youve ever known a woman like her,
    youd know why I didnt tell her,
    You should see him
    light a cigarette
    or smoke a joint
    and pass it to you
    between his filthy,
    miraculous
    toes.
