Points on a Sphere

Not poles on a line
static and unchanging
a yes or a no
in black and white

Points on a sphere
ever turning,
moving like a ball
rolling across an uneven floor

Such are the choices
my identities, roles moving
not either or
but yes to them all

on the multi-faceted roles,
personae that I have,
as poet, attorney, Christian,
husband, son, father, neighbor,
friend, etc.
