“They' in conventional wisdom,
in much literature (like Edward Lear's limericks),
in the mouths of conservative (and faux-conservative) politicians
refers to traditional society, those of privilege,
those with power, those
in control of what is known, thought, believed...
But 'everybody else'...
knows

“So don't ask people to be nicer
unless they're abusive,
unless they're the abusers.
And if they are,
maybe the nicest thing you can do in 2022
is kindly, gently, read them the so-called riot act.
And warn them a riot may be coming their way.”

“What is more than memory
that connects us always?...
what was it I wrote for him,
this then-young then-not-young man hungering for fame and acclaim
as much or more than burning with something to say?
I wrote him a poem called Immortality,
assuring him of his,
about the immortality we have through connection,
through shared experience and the memory of it,
through how we touch and alter each other”
