Cut to the run, Adhere to your gun
I'm sick of these
cowardly feelings
well at least non-committal and therefore
yeller and soft and downy
filled with feathers
mere fluff
Where's the stiffer stuff?
The rectangular decisions that glow warm?
I'd rather have some
loved and some
hated than all of them
just: liked.
Better to know what is what
than hide behind your
universal approval
of this and that
and almost
all of it -
than cow, bowed in
mock humility and aquiescence
and hopes of pleasing
when really just forcing
others to decide not just for themselves
but for you too ---
So decide and stick to
your ribs.

YES! Great, great work, Ang. This is what I, in my less than poetic, angry works, have been trying to say. I mean, partially. But I love it, the determination and the decision to feel everything fully, not just to please people. I love it. And you, don't forget that I love you. Have a great break, hot stuff!
