2. "Bird-Understander" by Craig Arnold

These are your own words

your way of noticing

and saying plainly

of not turning away

from hurt

you have offered them 

to me    I am only 

giving them back 

if only I could show you

how very useless 

they are not

If a dude wants...

 If a Dude is not totally disgusted at the color pink, all of the oceans will boil! If that dude is not appalled at the concept of wearing a dress, the continents will burn down! If that dude is not having epileptic fits at the concept of rainbows, every plant and animal will die!

You can't just want what you want

 You can't just want what you want! Think about others! You can't just need what you need! Think about others! Think about what they want. Think about what they want! Think about what they need! Grow up and care about others well being! My identity is not important! Your identity is not important. I am me! You are you! Why should it matter what we like to think about ourselves? Why should it matter what we think about truth?
