love #9: love poem

teach me the difference
between lust
and exhaustion
and which one leaves
me silent and shaking

teach me the difference
between beard-kissing
and shaved-kissing
and how each kind
has its pleasures

teach me the difference
between shallots
and spring onions
and why I never bothered
to learn it sooner

teach me the difference
between me
and you and me
