Who is this Stranger?
Who is this stranger sitting beside me
On the road from one place to another
A nephew who in the long ago
Was my partner in Dark Tower and chess
He is a grown man now, balding a bit
Who wants to save my soul from damnation
A religion he invented last year
He’s got a website; I could look it up
As a boy he was so good at chess
As a man he can’t sort out all the pieces

I sometimes feel that in my part of the world I'm one of maybe ten people who aren't pastors / ministers / bishops / master bishops / reverend doctor master bishops / ad infinitum.
And I am one of maybe ten people who doesn't own an AR rifle.
