Why look to movies or to books
for models of true love?
Why think a wandering eye
will bring the joy that you require?
Don’t say yes to plat du jour
before dessert is over.
Real love requires focus
on the object of desire.
You must find what you love most,
then hunt it to the ground.
My sweet dog is a perfect case.
She turns into a demon lover
of her bowl of eggs
from the microwave.
