Quote Thursday

You love like a coward.

Don't take no steps at all.

Just stand around and hope 

for things to happen out right.

Unthankful 

and unknowing

like a hog under an acorn tree.

Eating and grunting with your ears

hanging over your eyes,

and never even looking up

to see where the acorns

are coming from.

~Z. N. Hurston

from Their Eyes Were Watching God

I am not sure that Zora didn't mean that to be a poem.  It jumped out of the book at me many, many years ago.
