Love is like owning a dog

Taylor Mali, b. 1965

Love makes you meet people wherever you go

The Gemstone Line
How does it sound? Why does it work?
The poem
First of all, it’s a big responsibility, Especially in a city like New York. So think long and hard before deciding on love. On the other hand, love gives you a sense of security: When you’re walking down the street late at night And you have a leash on love Ain’t no one going to mess with you. Because crooks and muggers think love is unpredictable. Who knows what love could do in its own defense?

Give the gift of love!
