A good advice to the quarreling lover

Be a man and step up
to the absurd

Thus will transform
the quiet, hale tautologies
to reinforcing, hearty emotion.

Remember though
The absurd through anger
Will bake crazed, uneven ridiculous.

Only through tenderness
Will the man in love
Become a man elevated

to love.

I embrace you absurdity,
my long lost friend.
