August 28

I walk through the plaza and see a gathering outside the church

I change course and move closer to do my own research

They're all huddled over, smartphones keeping them occupied

I glance at the church and it is almost empty inside

Then I see what the crowd is doing, it's a Pokemon Go gym

They are battling each other with the fervent energy of a hymn

The irony of this scene makes me shake my head in the cold

Outside an empty church a new worship takes hold
