I made her happy today
yet I know nothing of love
is love a conjunction a cataract a corollary
a crease
a circumference
if a conjunction, where does it join, what joins, what fastenments required
is it an illusion fueled by convention, by want … an evolution refining
could it be storytelling … a specialized fiction
a leap of faith
or
a frisky fetish event, an entertainment
is it a failing an achievement
a trophy
a form of self-abuse
is it a salutation, a sunrise, or an
err
a forfeiture
an inseam
a surcease an eruption a cavalry a stampede a mustang bathing in a pond of absinthe
a wreck a reconstitution an obeisance
a dramatic supersession
a pair of wet galoshes
a gulag
7 days in a week
times 3
I’ll go with that
