Politics and Love

are inseparable. Just as
I could not imagine anyone
else sharing a bed with you
so I can’t imagine anyone
running this country who’s
not created in the image
of my lover my God. In
loving we’re always two
steps away from losing
everything just as in
politics we’re always two
policies away from being
torn from the soil of our
flesh. Armies come armoured
in tanks and Cupid
carries an Uzi.
