subsumed: 1 + 1 = 1
she had no socks
so she wore his
that left him short of socks
so she bought him more
subsumed: 1 + 1 = 1
she had no socks
so she wore his
that left him short of socks
so she bought him more
equated: 1 + (1 + 1 – 1) = 2
the young woman snared
an older woman’s long-time lover
the jilted woman chided
we’re the same, just different seasons
augmented: 1 + 1 > 2
she said I love you even
with your string tie
he said I love you even
though you don’t like my string tie
