The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman

It appears they were discovered in the nineties
By an Evangelical Christian. Imagine that!—the message
Taking so long to spread.
But do these “languages”

Accurately capture the love we shared, or are they just
Another swindling creation
Of prosperity theology? You see, I am not sure

His theory squares with my
“Attachment style”, as I seem
To express love through an unseen
Sixth “language”. So dear

God: could we re-advertise
Your book—including my experience of love—on doormats
And mugs? They could have my face on.


The line breaks and hanging line indents may be incorrectly formatted because I cannot be bothered to fiddle with the HTML. View the correct formatting in the full collection Juveni… Doesn’t Matter (The Grey-Salmon Book) (and subscribe at the top of the page).
