Love has its own arithmetic
where one plus one is always
greater,
though sometimes, sadly, we
shape
its geometry from triangles.
Love also has a grammar, with
the second person favored
first,
and 'thou' replaces 'I' and
'me'
in thoughts and declarations.
Love's language is often
learned unspoken:
meanings transmitted by tilt
of head
or accomplished through the
eyes,
whose glance can fill a
dictionary.
Love's history lectures may
be unique
and its future lesson plan a
mystery,
but both yield to the present
moment,
where Love's study is our
social science.
Love's geography is our
favorite subject,
even though that homework is
never finished.
