If anyone
Rev. Sandra Houghton
had tried to tell me
on that day in 1989, as I took in
the amazing views of Manhattan and beyond,
that that vast impressive building would
be utterly destroyed in just over a
decade, I would have
thought them
crazy.

I can’t help wondering
Rev. Jennie Gordon
about the way they talk about this poor woman
as if she is a meat-tray at a footy club raffle,
as property, going from one
owner to the next.

Taxes helped oil
Rev. Arnie Wierenga
the wheels of the Empire
and each act of collection was an insult
and reminder that the Jews
were not free.

We love certainties
Rev. Jennie Gordon
and we love to take sides
and know that our side is the right side,
or the left, depending
on our politics!
