“For you have maintained my
just
cause;” Psalm 9:4a
we turn the page
to check the stock market,
and forget the story
about the folks being evicted.
we switch channels
to find the score from
last night’s late game,
never noticing the
lonely child kicking
the football around
in the schoolyard closed
because of the rising cases.
we read the latest
social media posts,
and as our blood pressure
rises,
we forget about mailing
the note to a friend.
but
you remember them all
each and everyone
