Suppose we allow
for the likelihood
of a single God.
Suppose we say
to deny the possibility
is to be arrogant
on behalf of
our own total agency.
Suppose we say
one and only one
can be real. Suppose
we ask ourselves to
choose among the
many faces we’ve assigned
the One. Suppose
we cannot decide.
Suppose we revisit
the initial thrust of
the argument and say,
maybe more, maybe none,
but something. Suppose
we agree it matters
not — one, many, none —
until something confirms
one, none, many
to such a degree that
all of us agree to hold
no grudge against it
if there are many, none,
one. Suppose we leave
the density of the arguments
behind that day. Suppose
we find other reasons
to be as we have always been.
Suppose it matters not at all
if there is none or one
and the only thing that ends up
being of importance is
what we are: many or one,
or soon enough none:
what then?
