Now and then you hold
in the hand a book
that, reading it, feels
like a baptism.
Lila (by Marilynne Robinson)
deals with the crux of
the fix the upright
beast finds itself in.
Ours is the quandary,
Can anyone be
trusted? This book I
trust to tell the truth
about saying yes
to the universe
in the light of plight
and human hardship . . .
Robinson's stories don't lie.
