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.

  1. 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

    I shall be more honest,

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