Two Pieces

When you get to the end, youmust make up your mind as to whether you readme likeMartinLuther King or RosaParks. Thinkhard before answering. Not all those who write are happy to be cannon fodder but, since it is so, nearly all of us would like to make a difference. Otherwise, what’s the point in reading?

After you give your answer and reach the last page, put me down.

But wait, so that it doesn’t happen too soon.

Like it or lump it.

Lump it or like it.

Vice versa, in both cases, and then some.

Take a short cut from the long road.

Get there anyway, unprepared and ill at ease.

Just before you shut me, give up on the wrong side of the road.

Read all the notes, instructions, ISBNs, addresses, print runs, publishing dates, note the font used. Give up your strength. Give up your strength. Give up your strength. Give up yourself and give up your strength. Start a conversation to stop us from falling, just as we’re getting up now.

From here on in, everything must be cruel and therefore meticulous.
