when we think that grace
is like the wishbone of a turkey
which the person who gets
the bigger piece is more blessed,
when we are convinced
we can tell who deserves justice
based on how hard they work
at three menial jobs,
when we come to believe
that generosity is simply tossing
coins in a jar on a table and
then giving the change to a food bank,
when we cling to the outdated
notion that we can tell your favorites
based on the cars they drive or
the neighborhood in which they live,
we clearly are not paying attention.
