Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Frames

it’s this or it’s that 
could be anything 

no, 
it can’t 

it’s how you frame it
what you name it 

taxonomic chills 
nomenclatural walls 

what do you take me for
 “why” explains it 

one day they’ll drop the labels 
and the names 

this against that 
white against black 

dog versus cat 
all cliches 

the only thing that matters 
as you prepare to battle is how it’s framed
