After I sent you the Cardenal poem
About bloody coltan cell phones
You asked me what
I think you should do
Now that’s easy:
Share your light
Don’t hide it
Don’t dim it
That is all
That is enough
As Manhattan is connected to Minsk
And Bhopal is linked to Bi’lin
Have a yard sale
For all your bushel baskets
Rotate slowly
Shine your light
