Angels Faq Poem by Karoly Sandor Pallai

Angels Faq



Do angels have external sex organs, genitals, intestines? is there sexual intercourse between them, and how about veneral diseases? adam’s apple, gullet, pharyngeal tonsils, lungs? if not, what kind of sound do they make? if so, do they have lung cancer and need x-ray before settling down in paradise to prevent the spread of tuberculosis? are there any homeless angels roaming the fetid streets smelling fish and bile? what kind of punishment is inflicted upon them if they become hard drinkers, accessory to murder or if they rape a human? i can’t imagine angels having a shower. intimate cosmetics and special body lotion for the wings? can they be blood donors or play the piano? i’d rather take a plane and stay human.
