unprecedented times
foster a wide range of answers
doled out in fast succession, leaving little
room for humble inquiry that would take too much
time
as long as the need to know is now!
we can hardly expect genuine reflection to yield
its treasures, as compounded
as they are with the prayers and sacrifices
that have meant so much to so many, before now
