If you live your life,
you'll learn enough about love to fill a book
about giving up on it.
And each time you quit,
you'll go back and revise
each chapter in stronger terms,
add appendices on for all the lies
you tell yourself, and how to spot them,
and everything else you've learned
but why.
When you've spent your way through
the advances you've earned, maybe
it's time to turn it in. Let it go
to print. Buy a copy for yourself,
and let it burn.
