According to Boron B. Boron, my babblingly
bothersome twin,
the problem is basically this:
                 "Will a lamentably long lack of lustful loving
                 leave lovely lissome Luv Ann listlessly lonely
                 because our lovely
                 little lissome loving Luv Ann
                 latched lazily onto laconic loser Lazy Larry
                 instead of binding onto bashful but bright
                 and bouncily bubbling Boron?
"And, furthermore,
                 what will happen to
                 lovely little lissome Luv Ann if she is left
                 much longer so largely alone and listlessly lonely
                 with that lazy luckless Loser Larry after Larry
                 has looted lovely little lissome loving Luv Ann's
                 largely lustful love?"

"Hypocrisy!" I tell Boron, my undistinguished and
                 indistinguishable brother.

"Hypocrisy, Boron!" I continue:
                 "Your tangles of words
                 do not fool me a bit, and I strongly suspect
                 that you do not give a hoot
                 for lovely loving Luv Ann,
                 and care only for your lazy,luckless self,
                 lamenting your lingering loneliness!

"Furthermore," I cleverly add,
                 "you don't even deserve the love of lovely
                 loving Luv Ann.
                 I do!"

Boron merely grunts an unintelligible but clearly ill-natured
reply, and so I sum up my position with
a fine final flourish of menacingly meaningful rhetoric:

                 "Love is ever like a zebra, Boron! Remember that!"

"Still, we can dream," replies Boron, and he does:

                 Holland in the middle of  the third quarter
                 of the first down of the Seventeenth Century:
                 Samson van Rembrandt, son of the famous painter,
                 is seated cross-legged on a huge baby blue pillow
                 set up before his easel. He is engaged
                 in attempting to forge a style into a work by Jan Steen.

                 He works with the special disadvantage
                 of trying to cover up
                 a shocking pink underpainting
                 maliciously done by young Lucus van Renoir,
                 a painter totally unknown even to this day.

                 Laboriously, Van Rembrandt finishes tinting
                 in luscious blood-red the nipples
                 of one of the models,
                 the lissome Luv Ann van Nochnichts,
                 who slaps him in the face for doing so.
                 In brave response, he strikes her forcefully
                 somewhere with a prettily polished pestle,
                 and they fight. Van Nochnichts, of course,
                 wins as usual, and the dream is over.

                 But Boron, myself and my hero, ride
                 through the night,
                 splitting headaches and headlights
                 into segments of darkness going nowhere
                 as the wedge of our bright lights
                 no sooner opens a way before us
                 than the black vice of devilish darkness
                 snaps shut behind us.

                
                (POEM CONTINUES; See Part II)

i recall feeling that way torwards a couple.. how i can just tell when the guy is clearly not a good boyfriend and is merely taking advantage of her... and you have a gut feeling that you could be a MUCH better, much more posititve and supportive lover yourself,rather than luckless loser larry
