Is/Not

玛格丽特·阿特伍德


  Love is not a profession
  genteel or otherwise
  
  sex is not dentistry
  the slick filling of aches and cavities
  
  you are not my doctor
  you are not my cure,
  
  nobody has that
  power, you are merely a fellow/traveller
  
  Give up this medical concern,
  buttoned, attentive,
  
  permit yourself anger
  and permit me mine
  
  which needs neither
  your approval nor your suprise
  
  which does not need to be made legal
  which is not against a disease
  
  but agaist you,
  which does not need to be understood
  
  or washed or cauterized,
  which needs instead
  
  to be said and said.
  Permit me the present tense.
