When Sparrows Matter More

Find the book
and blow
the dust off.
 
It’s somewhere
in the house.
Every house
 
used to have one
if only to record
births and deaths.
 
Find the passage
about the sparrows
and you will see
 
that you and I
and every man
are worth more
 
than any sparrow
yet you and I
and every man may
 
spread seed
or old bread
for sparrows
 
on a winter day
yet hustle past
the homeless man
 
who squats
in sun or snow
outside McDonald’s.
