the sickness

h.l. Mencken

was quoted as saying that
love

is the delusion that all women
are different.

i'm not so sure about that, although
at times
it makes sense.

I suppose the same could be said
about men.

which you would like to believe
is untrue.

I think that love is a sickness
that can only
be cured by

another love, and that love,
by another love,
and

unfortunately, so on.
