To Leapfrog All Paradox
Are you a ****** being
if you choose to remain celibate
Are you famous or forgotten
if you live in a cave
Are you democrat or republican
if you’re never to vote
Are you black or white
in the eyes of the blind
Are you young or old
in the heart of a child
Are you rich or poor
when everything’s gone
Are you healthy or sick
when the gallows claim you
Are you guilty or innocent
when the crime is absolved
Are you friend or foe
as the last man to fall
Are you committed or unsure
when the questions retract
Can you find what’s been hidden
with the object removed
Can you cry out in silence
when the noise overuns
Can you travel in place
to unknown destinations
Can you swear to the Lord
with all prophecy in doubt
Can you still love your children
when no longer their father
Can you leapfrog all paradox
—to find your way home
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)
