It Takes All Kinds

Some write it out.
Some talk it out.
Some shout it out.
Some think about
painting it
or putting it in a poem
or a potful of stew and biscuits
with butter running over the edges of it.
And some just live it out
and don’t think of putting it
anywhere
except where it is at the moment.

—Catherine De Chico
