day 258

"'Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?’” John 12:5

 

how many times

a day do you shake

your head, Lord,

at our insistence that

everyone around us

give generously to you,

while

we toss the change from

our expensive coffee

in your cup on the counter

marked

‘tips’
