love like faith

love
like faith
is good for a number of things
but it can't
fly you to Burbank
very well
or fix
your wife's busted sock drawer
(the one where you know she keeps
those white thigh-
highs
you bought her over
a year ago)

love can't make it rain
in Darfur
or snow
in Vail
love can try and try but it
still can't teach you
the things you forgot
to learn
and
like faith
it hasn't moved any mountains
in at least the last 2,000 years
(that report from last Wednesday
remains sadly
unconfirmed)
