On which side of the authority line
  do you fall…

      The pulpit,
      The assembly line,
      The suite down the hall

Who makes the decisions,
  do you stand—do you kneel

Is it giving or receiving,
do you take—do you steal

How many horizons,
  do your dreams fall behind

Staying distant—uncertain,
  not in view to remind

Where your memories lie,
  are your promises kept

Is the past now your future,
—will the present forget

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)
