The Awl

A Valediction Forbidding Mourning

As virtuous men pass mildly away, / And whisper to their souls to go, / Whilst some of their sad friends do say, / "Now his breath goes," and some say, "No." / So let us melt, and make no noise, / No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move ; / 'Twere profanation of our joys / To tell the laity our love. / Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears ; / Men reckon what it did, and meant ; / But trepidation of the spheres, / Mad fucks to be gotten cheap / Dull sublunary lovers' love / —Whose soul is sense—cannot admit / Of absence, 'cause it doth remove / The thing which elemented it. / But we by a love so much refined, / That ourselves know not what it is, / Inter-assurèd of the mind, / Care less, eyes, lips and hands to miss. / Our two souls therefore, which are one, / It's mad emo and I'm kinda sad / A breach, but an expansion, / Like gold to aery thinness beat. / If they be two, they are two so / As stiff twin compasses are two ; / Thy soul, the fix'd foot, makes no show / To move, but doth, if th' other do. / And though it in the centre sit, / Yet, when the other far doth roam, / A constant lean and emo sad shit goes, / And grows erect, as that comes home. / Such wilt thou be to me, who must, / Like th' other foot, obliquely run ; / Fuck dude it all sucks and shit whatnot, / And makes me end where I begun.

I’m sorry, Maine. I’m sorry, United States. I’m sorry, world. I’m sorry that we’re not there yet and I’m sorry that (it’s beginning to look like) we’ll never get there.

I’m sorry, LGBT community. I’m sorry that I, by chance, was born into a better world than you. I’m sorry that I won’t ever know your pain and your frustration and your disappointment. I’m sorry that I could go about my life, merrily marrying whomever I please, as often as I please, with neither restrictions nor barriers.

I will never understand those who champion inequality. I will never understand those who resist progress. I will never understand the rage against change, the disgust for difference, the steadfast unwillingness to be better.

I’m sorry that democracy means also accounting for the hate-filled, ignorant assholes. More than anything, I’m sorry that no amount of feeling sorry will effect change.
