Full poem text below. --- On the Other Sideby Christy NaMee Eriksen The other day I watched a teenage boywalk across four lanes of traffic with hismiddle fingers in the air just to hug a girl on the other side. Romance can be wild but when I mistakerecklessness for fearlessness I wonder why we were ever taughtthat it should be dangerousto love us Truly, it isn't that brave tothrow yourself into another.I could throw myself intoyouright now,if I was rudeand had nothingbetter to do. Why not instead care for someone the way the light cares for a jagged landscapeor the silver cares for a stream it barely remembersor the gardener cares for a complicated ground, so shy it pools up They hold even the untouchable close,bow down to the precious. my lovers
