Falling
Patrick Phillips
The truth is that I fall in love
so easily because
it’s easy.
It happens
a dozen times some days.
I’ve lived whole lives,
had children,
grown old, and died
in the arms of other women
in no more time
than it takes the 2-train
to get from City Hall to Brooklyn,
which brings me back
to you: the only one
I fall in love with
at least once every day--
not because
there are no other
lovely women in the world,
but because each time,
dying in their arms,
I call your name.
I chose this Poem because I could not understand it.I wanted to learn what this poem mean and why the writer write that. I like this one because I think the sentences are very graceful. I think this poem is talking about how the people fell when they fall in love.
