Advance Notice

Every day’s another test Who’s it gonna be this time? It’s hard to learn to expect When it should come as a surprise I can’t spend my time Avoiding tougher stories I’m only used to just one thing Life comes without a warning This is not a joke at my expense It’s hard enough just to speak up and say it Preface this by saying Disclaimer: We can’t have that here A conversation ongoing But you say nothing Want to disappear Apologies too often So much for inclusion So much for safe here How you walk through the world: It’s a matter of comfort It’s a matter of skill This is not a joke at my expense It’s hard enough just to speak up and say it So we will bear witness
