on love



as in fishing
the one that gets away
is usually the one holding the rod
sitting on the quay

but it’s more like, say, bull-fighting
a competitive, though one-sided, blood-sport
where the bull’s going down - who’s gonna go down anyway
but whether it’s gonna be at the hands of this matador

or the next - depends on what makes first contact
the beast’s horns or the brute’s blade
but for an analogy more apt, an interesting - and fair- affair
a duel to the death it’d have to be made
