• ONE OF A KIND LOVE


    I do not want to even want your love
    Nor also those above us, like the doves,
    Not cuddly bears along the parks' roadsides
    Nor minnows that swim all ways yet don't collide,
    Not funny little porcupine pin cushions
    Nor badgers, nor their never ending pushes,
    Not doe eyed fawns nor the playful cubs of wolves
    Nor the puzzle that the proudest preschooler solves,
    But I do and cannot help myself of that—
    I shouldn't but I must be exactly what
    I was not meant to be, your friend and lover
    Until the day this miserable life is over,
    Though physical intimacy we've never known
    We've loved the love that's like, all over town.
