"Bad habits? Baby, I've got two," the old guitarist said.
"The first is waking up. The second's getting out of bed."

To a Recidivist

Friend, “Black lives matter” shouldn’t be your cue
to voice that odd dismissal, “All lives do”:

you’re kinder keeping quiet if (again)
you can’t call up a clear, sincere “Amen.”

What you're
eager to
believe may

say more
about you

than you'd
be eager
to admit.
