“If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, that’s not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that’s not progress. The progress comes from healing the wound that the blow made. They haven’t even begun to pull the knife out. They won’t even admit the knife is there.”
—Malcolm X

I don’t ask for much.
Show me how you feel
tell me what you think
and please, don’t lie.
We’re only human
I don’t expect perfection.
Just a little effort
and undivided attention.
We’ll take our interests
combine our lives
and mature over time
what else can we do?
Let’s just be.
I can’t change you.
and you can’t change me.
