Welcome
We're welcoming!
...of who?
...of what?
...for how long?
~~~~~~~~~~
Well come
on in then
if you must
here is who we are
it's best this way
we have placed
each thing
each person
in this comfortable arrangement.
Well come
on in
fit yourself in.
It looks like
this space
is vacant
and we could use
a token that
looks, lives, loves
like you do.
~~~~~~~~~~
We'll come
if
when
where
you make a space
a corner
a box that fits
just right
cushioned for
our comfort.
We'll come
back
when you fold
into a shape
we remember,
when it is familiar
and predictable,
when we can find
our space
[our power] again.
~~~~~~~~~~
Well come!
We desire your presence
just as you are.
We want to know you.
Let us put you
at ease.
Uncomfortable for us
is okay.
It is you
we gladly receive.
Welcome
has its limits
cannot be universal
to welcome one
is to exclude another.
Is more than polite,
more than friendly.
Make a choice.
Clarity is kind.
Who do you welcome?
It isn't all.
