i. Science is the church
of humility and gratitude.
ii. if you have a kitchen table
where a mother once peeled potatoes
cut onions, opened a tin of beans
while singing to Dean Martin
iii. and you have a sister
who invited everyone
to your mother’s 80th party
iv. and further back in memory
a grandfather, smoking a pipe
in his greenhouse
v. you are obliged
to care what happens
to others.
vi. the priesthood is your secretary
not your soul.
