doubtless (John 20:19-31)

hopeful,
i theologized
   with Nick
   over pizza
   and wine;
spent an afternoon
   with a glowing
   woman by a well;
dipped my toes
   in the pool
   at the Sheep Gate;
shared a picnic
   with Laz, Mary,
   and Martha;
wandered the hills,
   alleys, doorways,
   graveyards,
until,
   in a shut-tight
   room this night,
i discovered
that he was
   in every person,
   in every place, just
as he said.
