Kindness, Naomi Shihab Nye

What you held in your hand,
What you counted and carefully saved,
All this must go so you know
How desolate the landscape can be
Between the regions of kindness.
How you ride and ride
Thinking the bus will never stop,
The passengers eating maize and chicken

I wish I wish I wish I wish this wasn’t true. I had the incredible fortune in high school and college to know some amazing boys/men who were just as madly feminist as I am. I’ve known some since then, but mostly, I find myself spending time (and dating) amazing,...
