Can I share
an unacceptable view
one that is contrary
to yours or must I only speak when
we are in agreement?
Can I sit comfortably
on the sidewalk
with one who lives on the street?
Can we talk
openly about why
I live in a comfortable
house while he is dirty
hungry, friendless, homeless?
Is my judgment
complacency
self-centeredness
a wall behind
which I hide
too afraid to love
and be vulnerable?
