Ostensibly this is about leaving the creche on the front table for now. It's tempting to think that if the wise folk stay there, worshiping, nothing will change. Well, it doesn't work that way. Even when they take the same way home...even home is different.
The wise folk
Still gather at the manger.
Maybe they will never go home
By another way.
I contemplate leaving them
By the manger.
Still
Everyone must grow up.
Everyone must grow out.
Everyone must grow in.
Everyone must consider
Other ways home.
The walk home
By a different path
Means home
Won’t be the same
Either.
Heck
Even taking the same way home
Won’t be the same
Anyway.
