of the past not creators the future
frightens them into stockpiling
lives as righteous hoarders
but the spirit despises cheapness
and the pretense of virtue
as if holiness were a competition
and God played favorites
except he does at times it’s true
even he has to give it up
for a humble man or woman
who has learned to love
for its own sake this world
and the neighbor of the self
as God alone
