There is not a cold cup of water given to a disciple in the name
of a disciple. These days you
have to be rich to be one.
Where's the efficiency in that line of work? Can you optimize your
disciple-ship? Bring in a fancy shrink to show disciples how best to
follow. Pretend
you're at security, and then
wait patiently
at your gate. Heaven
opens
only if you follow the
rubrics, including a sentence about your worthiness. And
then you end up in disciple-housing, barely under the market value,
in a holding pattern that lasts an after-lifetime. Disciple and
punish, the philosophers call it. Look into the cat's eyeball, where
venetian blinds cut a
thousand lines in the sun.
Soon enough, you'll forget your savior has no shoes.

I really like this! All the permutations of disciple (disciple housing, a specialty area in the realty market)
I love your first line, the cat's eyeball, the last line. It's hard to be a disciple these days: all our gods turn out to be made of tin.
