when we evangelicals find
you on the other side of our faith
hanging out with the gender fluid crowd
and wonder, 'why are you there?'
when we progressives find
you out on a Saturday morning
with the red-hatted hunters
before they head home with
all their trophies in the backs
of their shiny pickups and we
ask, 'what in the world are you doing?"
when we purists and legalists
line up with our litmus tests
to determine who is with us
and who we need to be against
while you write in the sand, refusing
to let us see your answers, and
we keep asking, 'why did you come?"
you just shake your head
at how clueless we are
after all this time.
