A STORY. 34. LOVE IS NOT OBSOLETE

Words from Is Love Obsolete? have stayed in your mind, maybe the last words most of all.

No, love's not obsolete 
It's just sometimes obscenely hard to love well

You’ve read the poem a number of times.

Has it ever been the right time,
has it ever been that love is fine,
that love flourishes

Not just something we visit,
like tourists visit the museum …

Love isn't easy,
it flows underground,
it's dammed and jammed 
and held down by angers and grudges
hard old sludge that won't budge

But is love obsolete?

You know your own answer. No.

You decide, maybe you’d like to take a look at one or another of the love poems.

Love Gamble

Not today. You don’t feel like a gamble.

Time for the House by the River

You don’t like the idea of a house by a river. You think of flooded basements.

What Are You Doing On Valentine’s Day?

That could go anywhere.

You decide to find out where it goes.
