When two children
come to being
life gets care-full
yet more freeing.
September and
November too
these are birth months
with timely view.
Now twenty-eight
and twenty-four
who teaches whom
to memory store?
Fifty-two years
a parent, me?
Good lessons learned—
apparently.
Two lines curving
meet in middle
form the heart shape
make a riddle.
Dent is upright
bottom pointed
all is top-down:
Love’s anointed!
All loves flip-flop,
change emotient.
Arcs invert to
complete quotient.
From fulsome breast
to darkling anus
love’s symbol tells
its story famous.
NOTE: Observe how an upright heart symbolizes breasts. When flipped the heart resembles buttocks, the anus. If the breasts herald the beginning of love, the buttocks symbolize the “end” of love. How appropriate is that? In reality, the heart muscle is not shaped like a heart. It is shaped like a fist, and it just keeps pounding, punching! I have looked for images to show how two hearts can be juxtaposed; maybe I need to have an artist draw these?
$ervices, goods
for piece are paid.
Agreements, deals—
the cost of trade.
All customers
see some dangers
when transacting
with exchangers!
$ell percentage,
divide union.
Leave two parties
in communion.
To have, to spend,
to hold in thrift.
To share, to plan,
invest or gift?
