forty-seven


“They were greatly astounded and said to one another, ‘Then who can be saved?’” Mark 10:26

the broken-for-justice
and those out of breath
chasing after little kids on play grounds;
rich young fools without a clue
and those who puzzle out
the intricacies of diseases;
foolish folks who fall
for ever scam that comes their way,
and the neighbors who help them
put their lives back together;
transgender kids and their allies,
and the ones who take too long
to see their gifts and even more,
their humanity; 
the lonely, the rich-with-friends;
the forgotten, the forgetters;
the one-percenters,
the ones they think are prospering;
the believers, the doubters,
the convicted, the confused

and everyone else in between
