Continuity

So quick to judge
so persistent our prejudice
so slow is mercy

I’ve already made up
my mind and answers
it must cohere

yes I know
you’ve done so
even more

since I’m more open
what can you put up
to show we can talk

hmmm
I wish that were
good enough

it appears we are fated
to have this wedge
universalized

maybe my great-grandchildren
will get yours
to see your error

so there
until then
bye
