Many faiths and traditions,
my tradition and faith:
lately I can’t seem to have
one without the other.

Like the communion wafers
passed out as a meal,
and the unfrozen pita bread,
church has grown stale.

Too many 18th and 19th
century quarter notes.
The pipe organ was once
a technical innovation.

I’m not anti-establishment,
but let’s also establish
new mysteries to assure us
of Your Holy Presence
