“Now you are all here you might as well know …” by Thomas Merton 🇺🇸 (31 Jan 1915 – 10 Dec 1968)
1. Now you are all here you might as well know this is America we do what we like.
​
2. Be spontaneous it is the right way.
​
3. Mothers you have met before still defy comprehension.
​
4. Our scene is foggy we are asking you to clarify.
​
5. Explains geomoetry of life. Where? At Catholic Worker.
​
6. Very glad you came. With our mouths full of cornflakes we were expecting an emergency.
​
7. Cynics declare you are in Greece.
​
8. Better get back quick before the place is all used up.
​
9. The night court: the mumbling judge: confused.
​
10. Well-wishers are there to meet you head on.
​
11. For the journal: soldiers, harbingers of change.
​
12. You came just in time, the score is even.
​
13. None of the machines has yet been broken.
​
14. Come on we know you have seen Popes.
​
15. People have been a little self-conscious around here in the emergency.
​
16. Who cares what the cynics declare. But you have been in Greece.
