I and I
In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives

I’m pleased to celebrate the publication of a long-loved project (ahem) on “Bregenz Chaplains, 1387–1587,” Florilegium 39, https://doi.org/10.3138/flor-2022-0011
I want to publicly thank Jimmy Maiello, who first believed in my chaplain project, nutty though the extended prosopographical appendix might seem at first glance, and David Watt, who picked up the editing and handled it with a few swift and improving passes. I also want to thank monasterium.net which made this work possible during Covid disruptions.
The article is available through institutional subscriptions – or I’m happy to share a copy upon request.
Yay!

Mama’s in the fact’ry
She ain’t got no shoes
Daddy’s in the alley
He’s lookin’ for the fuse
I’m in the streets
With the tombstone blues

Proud ’neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now

Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside
A tear came to his eye
“You fail to understand,” he said
“Why must you even try?”

They’re lying there dying in their blood

There was a wicked messenger
From Eli he did come
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him
He answered with his thumb
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I’m young
You might say I’m unlearned
But there’s one thing I know
Though I’m younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

The streets have names you can’t pronounce
Gold is down to a quarter of an ounce

There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls

My grandfather was a duck trapper
He could do it with just dragnets and ropes
My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth
I don’t know if they had any dreams or hopes

“Oh son, you look so fine, I’m glad you’re a son of mine
You make me proud to know you hold a gun
Do what the captain says, lots of medals you will get
And we’ll put them on the wall when you come home”
