Elaine
(from Beyond Jitters in Minneapolis)

Fine fellowship and friendliness
Personified without pretense
Or price that we've come to expect
By custom of experience
From lives hard-lived objectifying
Others just like her.

Guileless there she sits and smiles
And welcomes all with open arms
No doctrine or theology
Inflected here that might exclude
Another fellow traveler
The Grace of God so freely granted.
