POETRY
I Still Do
“It’s always because we love that we are rebellious; it takes a great deal of love to give a damn one way or another what
happens from now on: I still do.”
- Kenneth Patchen
It takes a great deal of love to give a damn.
Be rebellious. Do more than kiss a cheek – punch
the button of the heart’s elevator. Become a battering ram.
It takes a great deal of love to give a damn.
Point to where the pain is, call yourself alive, a dram
of care in your blossomed fist, a cup of blood clenched.
Be rebellious. Do more than kiss a cheek.
- Jennifer Hill, from You Look Young Enough To Be Relevant
