when we get up from
the table to walk out
of the room when someone
whose politics is different enters,
when we would turn
the wheels of time back
to the days when people
lived in the belief that
those whose gender
or race or whatever
did not make them equal,
when we cannot bring
ourselves to open our doors,
much less our hearts, to welcome
the immigrant who has just
moved into the neighborhood,
do you ever mutter,
‘you folks obviously do not
love yourselves very much
do you?’
