Transparency
God
sees
sparrows
hit windows
and not stagger from
the bougainvillea bushes.
That's what Norma believes in her black and white thinking.
Infinite empathy, perfect wisdom from above, a steady voice dispensing.
Who wouldn't love such easy answers, abdications
of the human will, of reason,
dodging chance's whim.
Norma sprays
Windex,
streak–
free.
