we try to name our family
to put boundaries on
responsibility
we ask with Cain’s ancient
question,
“Am I my brother’s keeper?”,
yet wanting a different
answer
to be able to keep our stuff
to shut our door to our
neighbors
judging their work ethic,
lazy,
setting them apart,
unworthy,
we try to limit the number
of those to whom we owe
something
but they are God’s
messengers
hidden in those we cast out
