Who Or What Was Love
they would suggest love, like a love
of country, the familiar surrounding
the nature and sky above
the love of life
the attraction of the perfect
love in opposite one could
only share with one
and populate more
love
oh who were they
he thought almost aloud
this time in nature he
shared alone
or the time he shared
buried deep within the crowd
with people of every imaginable
kind
was it shiftless or exquisite
love or was he both
And was it that difficult
to understand
for all this time
I would ride a bike
thinking about how it worked
as I rode
I would fix the leaky faucet
wondering about where the
water came from
I would think about all the parts
where they came from
why I made what I did
she was love they were love
the cats the dogs
the cartoons the movies
the popcorn shop
where they make movie
popcorn up fresh,
just like in Theaters,
only it's cheaper
And they sell nothing
else
Just made that business idea
up /
love
Peace!
