Entomology

I've read that moths may not be attracted to light,
as we have assumed. It may be that they flutter

chaotically around confused by the illumination,
not captivated by the clarity of purpose it appears to be.

Love has been like that.

Yes...

I have spent some years of my life on a drunken binge of love. Fun, but you can get a hangover. Nice description of the process of falling in love. ~ Geez.
