SECOND COUPLINGS

You began because one and one made three
You still seek another one to feel complete

Temporary time turnings attuned to twos
But one was never enough for you

You have been one.Solo.Alone.Temporarily
This illusion denied by close friends and family

Entering in two union w/separate spirits
You trade autonomy for company/loneliness for blankets

Even if you break down/out-you still seek another
who will hold you more than friend or temporary lover

Now two is no guarantee of forever
Liaisons fall apart like stormy weather(compound fracture)

Serial monotony?/or simply grasshoppering?
Winter comes/bones are ague and ageing

One you become even when others visit
Your life story ends as you finish it.

Somewhere another story begins with part-time jobs
to feed the growing need to be (complete)

Somewhere someone who will be
with you (permanently-more likely temporarily

Somewhere this will be a surprise to he or she
who sees only their own life as destiny

Somewhere practicing for change is one
who will sometime be Your Other One

Now ask how it is we settle down
for Family Village when our love is City Town

How can affection be so easily transferred
by just another shape and form of words?

Is seduction a mutual beneficial pact
that we believe each other even when lies like that?

And when we settle down and settle in
What shall we tell the growing questioning children?

1V
Divorce.And still the need to be
with some special one(not necessarily eternities

Dating-strange to audition and seek
another replaceable one to meet my needs

Dare you share your pre-stories of your life before
when she was not even dreamed of at your door?

Does each new lover blind the old
or are they just new warmth against the cold?

V
And now-our life twined with all others lives
And now -eyes see as from a distance
And now-still little perspectives
And now-how extricate this ?
