“Love ate the red wheelbarrow." — Love 8, Jack Spicer
Love I: The Americans
Gone are every bloody influencer’s attempts
to buy my heart
I had a dream where we held hands and tongue-kissed
Chipotle
Love II: Epigenetics
One imagines
the cardiosphere dreamt its first kiss
before it even knew what
kissing was
Love III: Epigenesis
Kissing is
a whole lot of thump thump thump
thumpthumpthumpthiupmpthipmptthimp

Love IV: Terms and Conditions
Before proceeding
you must first be obliterated
Love V: Obliteration
Where did Love originate? It is apparent that Love can be observed outside of humanity. Antelope prioritize their young when fleeing from imminent danger. The mother Stegodyphus Lineatus sacrifices her body as the first meal to her newborn offspring. But who was the first being to ever Love? At what point did prototypal Love first emerge out of that primordial haze? Did it first come from the Eukaryote, that pioneering union of cell bodies? Or is Love not an emergent property, rather a fundamental principle of the universe?
General relativity states that gravity is not an invisible force of attraction, rather a bending of the fabric of reality itself such that objects tend toward collision. In a sense, aren’t we all just infinitely more complex manifestations of the fundamental forces of nature? Our Love, like gravity, extending out infinitely, inescapably, carving into space and time, in the hopes of reorienting one’s trajectory right into our arms?
Love VI: Aesthetics
BART riders silently Venmoing the busker
Hairstylist-turned-therapist-for-the-hour
Local bookstore pulls in 350k in donations
Man asks for jumper cables and gets them
Love VII: Epistemology
(All of this is as real as a man in a gorilla suit kicking it with Koko)
