Manchester-by-the-Sea Bathhouse by Erika Chan |
I grew up in a hippie household
in the 1960s.
The youngest of five,
by a long stretch.
My atheist DAD
and my non-atheist MOM
did their best to get us to
our Presbyterian church on Sundays.

But my religious education
went amiss,
having witnessed my older sibling's
religious revolt,
not to mention my own slight ADD'ishness.
And now
forty years later
I can't say I've come any further
except to know
that we're all connected
and simply
just need
to
love
each other.
