There are suns in other galaxies
that stun the mind. If you moved close
to one of them, they would cleanse you
of these half-longings and turn you
into a pure desire. But here on earth,
if you don't have any money,
falling in love with someone who has money
is terrifying. Because you can't follow love
around the globe; you can't afford
to track it with jetplanes
or move through its massive atmospheres.
