The First Supper
Dec 14, 2020
they speak oft of the last supper
but I wondered
— just now —
about the first
when human beasts could
— at last —
gather to eat at their
chosen time and whim
— a luxury —
but likewise a study
in cooperation
— an understanding —
to forage together
but feasting later
— a civility —
somehow forgotten
in the 21st century
— strangely —
when human beings still
starve unsheltered
— it’s policy —
to deny our neighbor
a fair seat to
— the table —
at which we all
first sat
