used to the seats we sit in – v3

following invisible snail trails

hidden grooves in the carpet;

walking the same steps

each week, in coming together.

like a one-room schoolhouse,

with each seat already numbered,

many families represented

each child known by name.

used to the seats we sit in

in the sanctuary, assigned places,

even when others are missing

sitting in the same pews.

thirty-five in attendance at worship

because of the snow storm

all sitting in our regular seats

asked to move forward
