Another Poem By HOODA HELAMI

________________________________________________________________________________________________


Why do we use the expression
Falling in Love
when 
Standing on Love
would be safer
(as if tasting
a holy wafer)
 
But
Falling in Love
maybe happens faster
+
almost guarantees
disaster

    HOODA HELAMI is a very perceptive—though sometimes angry—poet
    of "undetermined gender." However, the previous poem about
    wishing to be a chair made it sound like an older man
    getting the jollies for a younger girl.

      Sounds good BUT the "chair lover" could
      just as well have been an older woman
      falling for a younger girl
