I asked, "How many more fingers
must be pointed at the divine?"
She replied, "We humans enjoy
the convolutions of large numbers."
I said, "Perhaps furiously fidgeting
with the letter of the law should be
made a crime."
She said, "Then people would not
have anything to do on bright,
sunny mornings as the summer
comes to a close."
I added, "Except to fill daily journals
writing words that appear to be
tolerant and accepting."
She said, "It is easier to embrace ourselves
when we remain examples in our own lives."
