Find the book
and blow
the dust off.
It’s somewhere
in the house.
Every house
used to have one
if only to record
births and deaths.
Find the passage
about the sparrows
and you will see
that you and I
and every man
are worth more
than any sparrow
yet you and I
and every man may
spread seed
or old bread
for sparrows
on a winter day
yet hustle past
the homeless man
who squats
in sun or snow
outside McDonald’s.
