you deserve to be loved for all your weirdness
for the way your pulse races
with every piece of praise
or the way you flush at the sound of
a growl from your mate
or the way knotted ropes make you feel free
you deserve to find someone who
loves your strange preferences and stranger dislikes
because a good lover
will want to hear the anecdotes
that form your life’s story beginning to end
weirdness [poem]
