Who Is The Least Among You?


“Whatever you do to the least of these –
(And lists of least will rarely please for
looking close you'll likely see
you
alongside bumblebees.)

“Whatever you do to the least of these,
You’ve done it unto me.”

Said Jesus and the bumblebees.

Holy Mole!

This here is garlic from China;
it's just like the stuff we grow here -
kinda.

Psalm 139:12

Last night I slept on my porch,
I did!
In a lawn chair,
in the rain,
I was there;
a raccoon came!




The fireflies twinkled beneath
the leaves
of the Walnut
and the Ash -
small, green huts -
as raindrops splashed,

and I was not afraid
at all,
for in darkness
and with rain,
the heavens kiss
our world, reclaim!

Regular People

She looks like Geena Davis
after a year of eating normal,
and she smiles an oversized smile
at the red-headed girl at her table,

while the women at the next table
talk Harry Potter and politics
and take a reasoned approach
to the Bible and the deficit .
