Loving Vs. Fighting

Loving Vs. Fighting

Once in Eighth grade after I punched someone in the nose,
the middle school secretary gave me some advice.

"David, be a Lover, not a Fighter" she had said.
That's a false dichotomy if I've ever heard one.

I'm taller, wiser, and a decade or so removed.
and what I learned since then is that loving and fighting
go hand in hand.
