inattendu

how easy
to be the priest
or the levite
to make plausible honorable excuses -
time and task imperatives and obligations to meet
and people waiting for me
and all valid too!

how easy
to assume priorities are important
and someone else will do this
and quickly forget i saw it

how easy
to love my schedule
and my lunch hour
and my to-do list

so

teach me to not reject the unexpected
to be interruptible
to be flexible
when Christ comes to me as my neighbor
may i be a neighbor
