On loving two women at the same time:

First of all, get them to know each other.
They both hold a part of your heart or
the whole thing, equally, each with a hand.
You have two hands for holding,
two eyes for seeing for seeing their beauty
as you bend both of your knees at the altar of their lips.
They don’t even need to like each other but it would be great if they did.
Especially because there are a lot of board games
you need three or more people to play
and it’s easier to remember where you lost your keys
when there’s more people who might have seen you put them away.

Second: do not feel the need to justify yourself.
Do not feel the need to explain yourself.
You are not the slut you were named.
What is a slut, anyway?
Just another person because
I posit that everyone’s got to live their life
in some kind of way
and they don’t all need to be the same.
So, instructionally, I have to say:
Have lots of sex with everyone you love—
have more than one but less than infinite lovers.
Give of yourself and get everything back,
multiplied.
Reject serial monogamy, those closed hearts in revolving doors,
instead your love is open.

Third: do not believe in soul mates.
How can you expect to find your 1 in 7 billion in your backyard?
Especially when, honestly, a state is basically a backyard,
at least when you consider the number of people overpopulating this planet
and the human mind’s inability to calculate simple addition on its own.
Addition like: 1 + 1 = I don’t know.
It doesn’t feel like there are enough numbers in that equation.
Basically, what I’m saying is,
when you take a number like 7 billion and divide it in hetero-monogamous half, honestly
you can’t conceptualize the difference besides
your learned knowledge that 7 is bigger than 3.5,
and you never thought even just one person would love you.

Fourth: is your love still open?
You have to take it by the reins and own it.
The distance between people is communication;
give an explanation.
Tell your lover why you love them!
I know, it sounds simple, but people like you and me need validation.
On that topic,
don’t expect to get everything from one person.
Expect to build you life out of Lego blocks, each a different color,
Each a different door to open,
hundreds of possibilities if you get to know them.

Fifth: remember what I said about sluts and soul mates?
Well, they are what you make them.
Create them.
You can call your lover whatever you want.
Personally, I only know how to love people unconditionally.
It hurts sometimes, but otherwise,
it’s a beautiful moon in the dark parts of my sky,
and boy is it nice, when there are two moons orbiting this home planet I call my body,
lit by the red giant star-sun of my too big love,
reaching out to the restaurant at the end of the universe.

The great thing about planetary metaphors
is that, for all intents and purposes,
they’re always going to be there.
We live this short life and,
regardless of how many times the heat death threatened,
I’m glad that my world is still spinning.
I get down on both my knees. Rock me.
Love is not the fragile thing we imagined it to be.
