Pension

The battle continues. Who was the first woman rector in Chicago? Who was the second? What does it really matter? Except maybe getting the timeline right. Odd. I remember Bp. Montgomery installing me as chaplain for UIC at Church of the Epiphany in 1984. And now there is no Episcopal chaplain at UIC. Nor is there a Church of the Epiphany. Nor am I able to walk without a walker. It is time to apply for my pension. 32 years. It is time.

There is much contention

About

Who was first

Or second

Or third.

I have no idea

Where I fit.

But then

This has always

Been the case.

It is time to claim

My pension.

It is time

To understand

First

Second

And third

Doesn’t matter

At all.
