Wrong

*

One aspect of Body's humble and not so attractive being is that she doesn't draw praise from anyone. There is just something about the way she moves that calls out your abuse. She's so slow. And you can't make yourself value her or say anything nice to her, even when she really isn't doing anything wrong. No, she doesn't have to do anything wrong really, she just is wrong to start with, there's something kind of wrong about her and she knows it. She doesn't fit in socially, that dumb old clumsy body. I want to be a Christian, she says, even though she doesn't know how. I don't know how. I want to be better than I am. Well, people suppose that maybe Jesus will take notice of her and lead her where it is she needs to go. It's universally agreed that she won't get there on her own.
