“ Who calls her two-faced? Faces she has three;
The first inscrutable, for the outer world;
The second shrouded in self-contemplation;
The third, her face of love,
Once for an endless moment turned on me
The first inscrutable, for the outer world;

Kim Addonizio, from "BEER. MILK. THE DOG. MY OLD MAN."
“My old man. He loved
a cold beer. Sometimes I’d sit up
at night in the garage and watch
how he drank it, tipping his head
way back, and I’d try to drink mine
exactly the same,
but quietly, so he wouldn’t notice
and send me away.”
“ I had no difficulty whatsoever “adapting” to being with one woman. She was the love of my life. A woman’s variety is infinite.
