“
there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock.
people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love.
people just are not good to each other
one on one.
the rich are not good to the rich
the poor are not good to the poor.
we are afraid.
our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big-ass winners.
it hasn’t told us
about the gutters
or the suicides.
or the terror of one person
aching in one place
alone
untouched
unspoken to
watering a plant.

Friendly reminder, especially now that it is summer, that thin privilege is a real thing. Please don’t shame anyone for their body. It’s hot out. Let people dress how they want. Body policing is not cute on anybody. Please, be kind.
