mock

devil
go away
I don’t have time
and
if I had the time
I wouldn’t have
the time

resist
now fly
or skulk
however you might move
but
move away

and if that nether prayer from Job
should work or any
then
let it work for you
unless
you fly or skulk
to God again

though what do I know
of dramas
in divinity
when
what I know
is go away
and let that be enough
for now

for me
and mine
and as for thee
devil
let none be thine
