Labels Versus

In her mind it was always one vs. the other, academic son vs. creative son, smart son vs. street smart son... For whatever reason she chose to compare, from the very beginning to focus and dwell on their differences, what distinguished one from the other, what set them apart. And she let them know about it, all-the-fucking-time. She let them know about it then used it to manipulate, to pit one against the other, to divide and damage. But here they are, right now, at a nightclub, playing records and making music, together. It is a beautiful thing.
