we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone
-Book of Common Prayer, Holy Eucharist: Rite II

we conspire
to make a we of us
by repeating
what we have not done
in unison. still

we love our neighbors
as ourselves only
in those dark intervals
when, hearing what we are
saying, we hardly love ourselves

at all
