Tiny, claustrophobic room,
stained Hopi carpet,
folded-up prayer rugs,
assorted scriptures,
brass band in the distance.

Sign:
NO Alcohol
NO Incense Sticks
NO Cell Phones.

Grey steel
lectern,
3 whole-tree-trunk
benches.

In the classroom-style door,
a small, square,
twisted diamond-wired window
facing huge line
for the Chick-fil-A outside.
