Love/Hate
I’ve been thinking
about how much easier
it would be to hate.
Hate is self-fueling
and ignites manifestations,
such as resent, pity, and anger.
All of which are as volatile
and eruptive as the next.
It doesn’t take much to start
or to spread infectiously.
Love, on the other hand,
often requires replenishing
from another source-
one that becomes the sweetest
addiction and high.
And that’s why
I hate love.
