LOVING SOMEONE ELSE

The Betty Poems

is ridiculously hard
for some people,
but not as hard
as loving yourself.
And if the other
is yourself--
just with different genitalia
--it's harder still.

But don't worry.
There's good news:
If we just get
one of those right,
we'll get the other.
And we have a lifetime
to figure it out.
