ration [for the irrational]

by Laura Doom

I think
therefore I am
in perpetual conflict
but nothing follows
when it all catches up
with me

engagements
pulling us apart
from the arms
that carry us
to death

casual ties
demand compensation
for the lorn that suffer
diminishing returns

our love is stretched
to vanishing point
by brokers and angels

there is little to ponder
that hasn't already been forgotten

we embody the schism of existentialism

So what is love? If nothing else tears love apart, life will. How do we define this thing no one seems to be able to get their arms around?

I hate those engagements. They get in the way of so many things.
