Is Anyone
Is anyone ever a total fraud
or totally sincere?
Is anyone committed beyond mere space
to a notion fond and dear?
Is anyone ever one hundred percent
with subtraction the rule of the day?
Is anyone better than what they believe
or worse than a mother can pray?
Is anyone ever truly in charge
of that moment that slips through the hand?
Is anyone willing to dance beyond hope
to a melody lost by the band?
Is anyone chosen from those who are not
or entitled to what can’t be earned?
Is anyone welcomed straight into the light
—on a path where all others have turned?
(Airplane-Las Vegas To Philadelphia: January, 2016)
