Always forgive. Always revise.
We told you: she has two Mr. Hydes.
She will let you love one;
One is slightly smarter than the other—
And that is the one she loves.
The vaccine has Dr. Jekyll in it.
For years, plagues ravaged places
Either too filthy or too clean.
You are always Mr. Hyde
When you witness the clean surfaces in porn.
Mr. Hydes can turn up anywhere.
Beware Mr. Hydes who are intelligent.
Beware enlightened, kind souls who say
The Jekyll-Hyde distinction is a false one;
Beware ones who say Hyde
Is misunderstood. There is no false
Distinction without one.
I’m sorry, my sensitive friend,
The hushed receding of the tide
In the gray morning always reveals Mr. Hyde.
