I behold him, but not near—" Numbers 24:17a
we know the names
and stats of all the players
running up and down
the pitch, the floor, the field,
but those who pick up the trash,
care for the grounds, arrive early
to get the concessions ready,
and who mop out the facilities
after everyone has gone home?
them we could care less about
because they are not the famous,
the superstars, the GOATS,
the ones with the big contracts.
but we can bet
that
you know the names of all
the ones we are so quick
to discount, to ignore,
to complain about the loudest
if our least little whine is not
heard and responded to
immediately.
