Man-Woman. From whence springs protagonism? From whence springs antagonism? Over Immeasurable void      We find commonness. Over illusory separation      We find divergence. I married,      Now I demand. I love,      Now I rebel. My contrariness springs from fear:      Imagined threats to freedom      Constrain me to negative reaction,      And compel me to negative action. Resolution seems to elude our efforts. The trials from which spring new love have begun. Idyllic love is waning, Deeper love is waxing. I love you Susie, let us grow. Written for my wife Susie.
