LOVE POEM

Erich Fromm gets very angry
When he debunks the concept
Of swoony romantic
One-person-out-there-for-you
Hyperventilating love
As a symptom of self-loathing.

He relaxes when he says
That the first condition of love
Is love for man as such,
"A concentration of lingering love
"With regard to one person."
