“who needs love?” some ask sober from a long bout of drunkenness on the fine sprites of the finer *** “I can go on! I will go on! alone! I shall!” I know I know It’s not surprise but riddle me this: why would you want to? forget logic or sense or thought or doubt we’re talking love! the most powerful lack of power known to man what else can make you tremble, as your love’s voice on the telephone? what else can make you wonder, like the idea of even holding their hand? what else can hurt, worse than hear hearing her say “no”? we embrace it because we cannot refute it it is the mongol horde and we are the simple farmers but this army does not come seeking destruction, though it does posses, and often uses, that power. Instead, it seeks to create, in you and in others, a realization that the world is more than dirt and gravity and science “there is more to be found, so find it” love says to you and coming up from your stupor you do not yell as you just had and instead nod silently and begin to run in no particular direction at all
