Poem: love is reciprocal listening to your words seeing your deeds cognitive dissonance If you turn away from me even as I love you assuredly I’d leave you paired with an image from the sleeve of an Ella Fitzgerald 78 recording – Miss Otis Regrets She’s unable to lunch today, recorded in 1956. The image has a lilac background with a woman in a long black velvet gown in shock after shooting her lover This image ©ilinkcs (2025/09)

On my mind today: How love is reciprocal, symmetric

Asymmetry is a no no

Inspired by a Cole Porter song “Miss Otis Regrets She’s Unable To Lunch Today” sung by #EllaFitzgerald (1956) & #EthelWaters (1934)

Still listen to both.
