There’s a difference between
people who do things
and people who

don’t.
The difference is
people who

do things,
do
them.

People
who don’t,
don’t.

Meet an acquaintance of mine. He’s a performer named the Cardinal of Crows. He’s not from around here. He was among a crowded stage of spoken word artistes at a thing at the 2009 Create West Virginia in downtown Huntington, W.Va.
