Churchgoing

"You made it then?"
He  said,
As Jeremiah
Tumbled through the door.
"Do you need 
To take a breather,
Gather yourself,
Attain some sense
Of composure,
Straighten those
Tell tale creases,
Comb away 
The straggly bits of hair?"
Jeremiah smiled, 
Clenched a silent fist
And brandished it
Against the tyranny 
Of despair.
