How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love how you name things
that don't quite exist yet,
because by doing so
you help those things to be born.
I adore it when you
unleash your imagination from its enclosure
and let it fly far away to gaze
at forbidden sights
and feed on
outrageous nourishment.
And I am delighted
when you shape your experiments
so that they're not weird and selfish
but rather natural and generous,
not decadent violations
but exuberant homecomings.
Wait!
Here's one more throb of appreciation.
I love how you can be so wildly serious,
loudly soft,
thoughtfully garish,
lyrically logical,
and chaotically organized.
