split level poem

i marry one
and love another;

i live with one
and long for another;

i copulate with one
and commune with another;

i wed one
and bed another;

i cook for one
and eat with another;

i clean for one
and mess with another;

i wash for one
and dress for another;

i knit for one
and am warm with another;

i comfort one
and reassure another;

i keep house for one
and feel at home with another;

i am aware of one
and appreciate another;

i taste one
and savour another;

i survive one
and thrive with another;

i complete one
and fulfill another;

i satiate one
and sublimate another;

i entrust one
and have faith in another;

i make a home for one
and belong with another;

i am in fact with one
and fantasize another.

mind and heart
two elements
two ways
logic and liking
one path
one life
one human being
two eyes
two ears
two nostrils
even sensations come from two sides
but they come to one person only
to put the mortal human again in riddle
of like and logic

wish i could comment with another poem, but Joy beat me to it!
I shall be more honest,

Oh, how I wish, I could bed another...
