Ways that Falling in Love Makes You More Creative With Language
They challenge you
the way salt water challenges open sores.
You work through it
the way a father works through the one weekend
his children are visiting.
They are different
the way life after a lobotomy is different.
You learn independence
the way the tiny pink shoe on the sidewalk
is learning independence.
You are always trying
the way the moth lurching around the fluorescent bulb
is always trying.
You become creative
the way the cornered, starving dog
is creative.
