Talks About It

Friday, May 23, 2025

Good morning, The Wonderfell Way.

O/ Yo-yo-yo.

Here we go.

On with our show.

Love. We ought to talk about it.

Seeing as I'm a Poet and it's one of our job expectations, and I'm feeling as true to my work as ever this morning, it's a good time.

"It's his journal. He's a Poet."
- Dedicated Reader

"Is he gay?"
-Clueless Victim of Society

The quick easy answer to that question is no. An emphatic no.

For me, it's always been women.

The more important response is the question both breaks my heart and pisses me off.

In a world of billions, if you're lucky enough to have someone love you in a way you recognize to love back, consider yourself blessed.

Plumbing preferences are political; sex is private intimate partnership.

Two choices make and sustain love, not a society's expectations.

If you're proud to be, 'Gay, Straight, Bi, Pick-a-Prefix,' you're proud to be political and not in love.

Quick fix swipe left, swipe right club floor barroom hook-ups lack intimacy and so lack a chance for love.

If you won't do it sober, you shouldn't do it.

A good rule for everything, most especially sex.

It's a disservice to your body, your compassion, and the dream of what it means to be human.

Poets sing about love because we're all about relationships.

New relationships of anything to anything make new metaphors.

To make metaphors: Is what the meta is for.

Our whole experience of life is defined by how we pick two objects not usually associated and define a new understanding from the partnership with words to give new meaning to the interactions the pairing creates.

To share these new relationships with words is the work of The Poet.

Light rain again today; the grackles are back.

Crows you'd call them if you didn't know much about birds.

But if you look closer a grackle is a rainbow's shine against a night sky.

There are rainbows, and a world stuck in the dark, stuck in our language of love.

But Life has always been about living color and falling in Love is always done best at night.

Politics provide a place for Love to exist in intimacy and safety.

Recognition of a shared dream and not prefixes of plumbing preference define potential love.

Take care, love something on purpose, and make wonderful your wonderful day.
