    leaner, thriftier, calmer,
    taller, nicer. … Nah.
59. selling points
    If you like features
    that up the price but not the

    Everyone talks a-
    bout fake news, but no one does
    a thing about it.
61. dash it all
    The GPS voice
    told him, “Drive recklessly,” and
    he blindly followed.
62. you know those lights were bright on broadway
    There are not many
    who remember. They say a
    handful still survive.

    books, walls, whatever.
67. hurry up, climate change
    My Southern chalet
    will triple in value as
    a beachfront cottage.
68. don’t matter
    Vaccines, lady parts,
    qualifications, gay folk,
    people of color.
69. does matter
    Money, self-interest,
    power, revenge, privilege,
    winning arguments.
70. defining moment
    A chance to focus
    on the things that matter while
    discarding nonsense.
71. washington or bust
    Cheer on the peaceful
    change of power or decry
    the ruler to be.
72. words, actions and change
    In Birmingham, John
    Lewis and Freedom Riders
    were met with brute force.
73. a legacy of vigilance
    Do we stand with King
    in working toward a more
    inclusive future?
74. the diner at the end of the world
    A long wait, but the
    flapjacks and burgers are worth
    the armageddon.

    ’bout a revolution. It
    sounds like a whisper.

    As they stood there, I
    stood there asking, Is this land
    made for you and me?
81. a strange and bitter crop
    Pastoral scene of
    the gallant South: the bulging
    eyes and twisted mouth.
82. can’t bring myself to do what it is you think i should
    Too late to make it
    right. Probably wouldn’t if
    I could. ‘Cause I’m mad.
83. make love, smoke kush, try to laugh hard and live long
    That’s the antidote.

    clothes, my hands, my toes, my hair
    and some on the walls.
