To his Cynical Mistress
And love is then no more than a compromise?
An impermanent treaty waiting to be signed
By the two enemies?
—While the calculating Cupid feigning impartial blind
Drafts it, promising peace, both leaders wise
To his antics sign but secretly double their spies.
On each side is the ignorant animal nation
Jostling friendly in streets, enjoying in goof faith
This celebration,
Forgetting their enmity with cheers and drunken breath,
But for them there has not yet amalgamation:
The leaders calmly plot assassination.
—Thom Gunn
