love my friends
nada damn thing like it

nor memory

which makes love possible

cuz without it

you’d be a lizard

or a snake

from day one

setting off on your own

and eating everything to keep you alive

but with love
maybe i mean memory

you eat nothing

you give it to her and she gives it to you

or he gives it to him and he gives it to him

or she gives it to her and she gives it to her

u know what i mean

anyway

when you have love

you give it

and you’re never hungry

so long as you feed her

so long as you feed him

so long as you feed someone

besides yourself

even when the titties sag

and the dick can’t recover from its limpness

you become like turtles

ignoring those godawful shells

still nuzzling

still fuckin (or trying or pretending)

because you know what’s on the inside

and i hope this for both of you

that when time takes over

you live like turtles

overcoming all the clumsiness

of your exteriors

of the hardness you might at times believe equals strength

so that you feed each others insides

so that you will see

my friends

taste

touch

smell

hear

and live in

paradise

without the snakes

without the snake

forever

when you close your eyes

for what the rest of the world believes

is for the very last time.

p.s. there is no very last time so long as you have love
