“Humans have the inherent ability to persevere through the hottest hells and hatreds,
That **** so many on a daily basis,
If that hatred lie
In the Wyoming sky
Above Ennis and Jack and,
On the upper West Side Story of lower Manhattan,
We still find the will to love someone.
It is the ability to truly admire and adore
Perfect imperfections.
It is the paradoxical phenomenon that occurs when,
Despite even the strongest abhorrence
We find a way to break every barrier to joy.
Hunchbacks hugging the skeletons sagging in our closets.
We desire what no porpoise or purpose could satisfy
Only we know how a Creole creed could Reisz such a ruckus
Only we know the way to love”
