we say to ourselves
remember this
and yet we rarely do
where it counts
where real courage is needed
‘ain’t ready to quit’ JA sings
we aren’t ready until we are
I’m interested in it until I’m not, Bill T says
We’re inside until we’re out
we’re inside until we’re not
the next time I want ice cream
I’ll probably eat it
even though later
it makes me feel sick
anything else would require real change
and I haven’t changed yet
