Hate is Easy
love is hard, a voice on my tv declared
& WAIT, I stopped in my tracks, gasped.
WHAT ?!??
NO NO NO
You’ve got it backwards, my friend,
you said your words wrong,
you, you, you …
& as if struck by a bolt of lightning, the gravity of the sentence hit.
Hate is easy, love is hard.
boo.
just boo.
this can’t possibly be right,
RIGHT ??
How many times have I written
but, then again, how many times have I not ?
try.
TRY.
Tried.
Hate is easy, love is hard.
YeP.
In many ways, I guess, it’s true.
But here’s to one more
& BIGGER
& better
& subtle
& BOLD
and again
and again
and again,
&
again …
I promise,

I’ll try.
🙂
