banquet

“An argument arose among them as to which one of them was the greatest. But Jesus, aware of their inner thoughts, took a little child and put it by his side,” Luke 9:46-47

we rush to throw
open the doors, and
usher you to the
best place at the table
until
we notice the ragamuffins
who are clinging
to the edges of your robe,
as if they should be
seated next to you,
instead of us
