/// 0 (   •  •  ) /   \ ###### ?   Love  ? -- The true lover NEVER gets hurt !! ( this we all know !!) -- THE PAIN   ( which we talk of so incessantly and childishly ) ALWAYS comes back upon the false lover And is felt ONLY by the false lover !! // THE DENIAL OF THIS OBVIOUS FACT IS THE ESSENCE OF THE POEMS ON HELLO POETRY /// what is called LOVE here Is merely POSSESSIVE INDULGENCE // The REAL FEAR  that we have is of Actually BEING LOVED // For in the LIGHT of the TRUTH OF LOVE all our games are exposed and we are simply Left standing in the existential terror That is our society // We mask this actual terror by Playing the GAME presented And playing it with such RELIGIOUS ZEAL that it tends to temporarily Protect us from the knowledge Of our EXTREME VULNERABILITY //// the results are disasterous we sink farther and farther into Depression And play the GAME more intently To ease the shame •• We should change the story ! We should make it ours ! We should LIVE ! WE MAY SURVIVE
