You Being in Love
You Being in Love - meaning Summary
Love Fractures Identity
The poem explores how being in love reshapes the self. The speaker asks whether bodily separation or memory-making turns lovers into strangers or multiple selves. Love produces bewildering pleasure, mingled grief and absurdity, prompting existential questions about purpose and identity. Ultimately the speaker reduces experience to love as both cause and answer: love explains laughter, breath, avoidance of danger, and a stubborn preference for one face amid a chaotic world.
Read Complete Analysesyou being in love will tell who softly asks in love, am i separated from your body smile brain hands merely to become the jumping puppets of a dream? oh i mean: entirely having in my careful how careful arms created this at length inexcusable, this inexplicable pleasure-you go from several persons: believe me that strangers arrive when i have kissed you into a memory slowly, oh seriously -that since and if you disappear solemnly myselves ask "life, the question how do i drink dream smile and how do i prefer this face to another and why do i weep eat sleep-what does the whole intend" they wonder. oh and they cry "to be, being, that i am alive this absurd fraction in its lowest terms with everything cancelled but shadows -what does it all come down to? love? Love if you like and i like,for the reason that i hate people and lean out of this window is love,love and the reason that i laugh and breathe is oh love and the reason that i do not fall into this street is love."
