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.
