This is about my two lovers.

The first one is very much unlike me but had declared its love for me. I trust because it’s a piece of cake to see through insincerity. With me, it is wildly indigent for my attention. It jumps frantically, it roars deafeningly and becomes almost barbarous. I am usually successful at taming it.

The second one is very much like me and had confessed its love for me. I believe because I am skilled at detecting mendacity. With me, it is willfully persistent for my approval. It sneaks in prudently, it purrs seductively and becomes almost assiduous. I am usually successful at refusing it.

I know I am their sanctuary and I do not know how to deny their love. So I run my fingers down their fluff. When I do so, my first lover becomes docile. When I do so, my second lover becomes resigned. It is easy. They are smitten.

I love my first lover but I am not in love but I am its lover. I love my second lover but I am not in love but I am its lover too.

I love a third lover and I am in love but I am not its lover. Tame me. Refuse me.

I like to abnormalize the ordinary. Don’t read too much into it.
