THE TWO MASTERS THEORY 7-3-17


THE TWO MASTERS THEORY    7-3-17

I’m well aware of the two masters theory,
how “You can’t serve ‘em both, Mowron,”
as Jesus likes to say.

There seems to be empirical evidence
for that theory
about how you’ll love one
and hate the other
which probably accounts
for all the self-hate around

Self is a hard master
making us take
the road more taken
that ends in a marshy pit

We hate that road
but we keep taking it

Katie Kennedy’s new book, What Goes Up, will be published by Bloomsbury July 18. Some critics say this is even better than her highly acclaimed Learning to Swear in America. Available for pre-order now at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, etc.
