A Modern Lament:

I want wit in my wordplay—

the sharp-cutting directness of a
Shakespearean barbed jibe, and the
debauched baseness of a broken sparrow.
I want debate and liveliness and scholastic
wooing with spirited seriousness and an
underlying sincerity of playful emotion.

I want it all.

I want artful posturing and deep seated realness.

I want life, love, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
with a man completely lovable in his intelligence and
willingness to get down with me in the dirt.

I want a babe in my belly and a ring on my finger--
knowing that All is Well that Ends Well.
