Filipino Catholics in a Passenger Jeep

The rickety jeep passed by the Sacred Heart of Jesus, 

and five of us seven passengers began making 

the sign of the cross, hurriedly --

more Quadrate or Square, more Greek than Latin: 

forehead, chest, shoulder, shoulder

-- executed somewhere between 

force of habit, and genuine 

expression of faith.
