Incense Does Not Zoom

At our parish, prayer rises as incense
  To the Lord: at Vespers, Orthros, and the Divine Liturgy.
The Psalms are chanted without censoring
  As the censer is swung enthusiastically among the faithful.
The incense reaches the hidden places, the silent places.
  Incense does not Zoom.
With the patina of millenia, we pray the Psalms:
  Incense filling the sanctuary, every nook and cranny.
We, following our priest, join saints triumphant as we pray -
  Joining as the incense is swung singly, doubly and circular.
The incense reaches the hidden places, the silent places.
  Incense does not Zoom.
