The Left Column
Writes poems,
very many poems
      So, yaa, he's writing these 
     "how awesome U" poems
  thinking that the puppy love
    bounding happy dog love, 
         shaking that big tail while he runs
      happy doggie love
  is the kind of love that
           friend wants.

   And when you stop worrying about what freind wants
    Maybe then you will have just what friend needs.

  So, yaa, he's writing these
     "If I stop thinking that
          I know U"
       poems
     "I might actually get to
         know you."
       poems
   which seemed to confess his 
     cluelessness about
               friend.

  And maybe they seem cute to you,
     him confessing that he doesn't know
        anything, is a moron about love . . .
     but he'll keep doing it anyway.
   And that is supposed to impress friend?


  And when you are not trying to impress friend
    that might be when friend is most impressed.

  So he's writing these
       "Eccumenical need to
           impress friend"
     poems
  that really were just confessions of
      his unending love for friend.
  
   But when you know the truth of love
    a poem like that is a tautology
       like 1 + 1 = 2

   So, share the meal
      and the drink
    and the diminishing light of the dusk
      and live in the truth of the love
                   that's real.
