In this abhang, everything is part of the poem.
Even the unpoetic parts, even the nights
When no one sleeps,
That too, is part of the
Communitarian journey.

Fear is the only thing that stops Love.
Hate is not its opposite.
Ennui is never part of it,
But only fear creates a push that blocks Love's flow.

Love doesn't push well.
Love doesn't pull.
It plays nice with others
In a team sport, like
Unsynchronized swimming, or
Free-style dancing in the park,
Not tit for tat,
But I'll scratch your back,
And you can scratch mine, too,
If you want to.

I see you do.
Now that's sooooooo sweeeet.
That's Love.
