Dave Mcgahan Poet Blank verse

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!
