I try not to let it
but it bothers me when
the subway stair Witnesses
don't try to save me
I can't help but think:
is it because I'm undeserving
of divinity, an impostor,
or because they think
I'm blessed among sinners,
the least of their worries,
and one soul too many to lift.
They could offer, at least,
and let me ignore them -
It would be Christian of us both.
