Co-fidelity

Monogamy

By its nature a rarity:

For a gay man

Why should it be?

He after all has no intention

Of spreading his seed

No desire for pregnancy

Promiscuity

The norm these days

Or at least a phase -

I observe in many I see.

What's its driving force?

To what end

Does it serve anything?

Co-fidelity

A little bit in between

You and I,

A third when in need

Monogamy

With a little promiscuity

But always together you see

By

Everett E. Phillips, III
