what is


What is love and what is hate
are they comparable to such phenomena
as good and evil/ light and darkness
they say you cant have one without the other
but that theory has always seemed (infuriatingly) flawed-
i.e. ‘you cant have your cake and eat it too’
(I can’t imagine what the concocter of that expression
was doing with it,
I typically waste confections by consuming them).
Don’t they feed from the same vein
love and hate
from our ineffectual feel good passions
those that leave us starved and crazed
or inspired and praised-
paradox is the spice of life
assuming we are all metaphorical sufferers of IBS.
Where is love and what is hate
do they live in our chests
are we children
or is it a chemical defect, an over-allowance of something
that casts us into this unfortunate position.
Spit a globule of affection into your hand
and spread it across my psyche if you can
what are we if not mammals, beasts
I need honest conviction to believe in anything-
thank dishonesty, the ever expanding benchmark of humanity-
I don’t blame all of us,
only those who knowingly parcel out lies
in neat packages labeled absolution, deception.
What is life and where is love
there’s hate
floating across my mind, I see it
an oily film across our lives
projected from the asshole of every sentient speck.
We cant help but love our sadistic furies
sayeth mein soul fuehrer.
