Well, I know a guy, he's from far far away He's a songwriter, he got something to say He says, "People in this city are too busy to hang out This town's so spread out, no one would hear you if you shout" Everyone's got a script to sell and someplace else they want to be There's always a lock that would open if you could just find the key" (It Ain't Easy Being Green) ↗
...'fundamentalism' and 'liberalism' and terrorism.' These labels only tell us partial truths. We must use them humbly, guardedly, Niebuhr would say, aware of the limitations of our own vision and of our own capacity for misunderstanding and self-deception. ↗

The keepers would give the gorillas an assortment of fruits and vegetables each afternoon, and on this particular occasion, Judy Sievert tossed Nina an apple, which rolled away. Instead of going to get it, Nina just 'sat there sadly,' in Judy's words. Judy continued her rounds, handing out yams and apples to the other gorillas, but Nina sat there looking appleless and downtrodden. Taking pity, Judy tossed her another apple. As soon as Nina had it, she got up and went over to where the first apple had rolled away, taking it too. ↗
I remember one desolate Sunday night, wondering: Is this how I´m going to spend the rest of my life? Marrid to someone who is perpetually distracted and somewhat wistful, as though a marvelous party is going on in the next room, which but for me he could be attending? ↗
Everything that comes out your mouth is hot and black like treacle, Never once have you said anything other than anything deceitful. You’re poisonous and toxic, dangerous and deceptive, Consuming all around you and so relentlessly receptive. Swallowing each indiscretion and choking on your fumes, While all around you are but pawn’s for your own use. Stained with the vague idea that you are a ‘person’ In reality I watch as your psychosis gradually worsens. The only thing I know for sure; your gender and your name, Behind closed doors and cold surfaces I watch you shift the blame. The feelings that you say you feel are all just a charade, Never once have you been genuine, never let down your guard. But I’m the one whose laughing now, I’m the one that’s real, I have the ability to love and to care, the ability to feel. You’ll never be more than a shadow, a watery reflection in the mirror, And by default I am everything you’re not; I’ll always be the winner. ↗

Orange Juice? Sure. Toast? Sure. One last time on the couch? Sure. Phone number? Sure. See you again? Oooh, absolutely. That was the lie I told. Probably not, that was the truth, that was that which went unspoken. ↗
