discipline

morning routines
i forgot to tell you
but i do them too

imagining the softness
my two hands
will find

too tempted
by the tantalizing touch
of your discipline

Phaedrus: (as Lysias, cont.)

would not envy (phthoneein)
those who are together-being (suneinai)

but would hate (miseein)
those who would not (ethelein)

οὐκ ἂν τοῖς συνοῦσι φθονοῖεν

ἀλλὰ τοὺς μὴ ἐθέλοντας μισοῖεν
