***
i carry two
(when one should suffice)
one is enough heavy weighty enough
dense hard thick enough
mucked filthy and crusted enough
(it is all i can do to keep it alone clean)
when the outside is dust and grime and bird
haven’t time enough to drive two cars
limbs enough to live two homes
lies enough to love two lovers
enough smiles to shine
(that both may seem joyful complete wondrous)
dichotomous duplicitous diverting double time to double life
(so neither lives loves moves
enough)
***
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. – Matthew 6 : 24
