[a poem from 120 North Hall, January, 1977]
Resentments on his sleeve, or on parade,
because he lacks prospects of getting laid:
but that is climax, not the first cause, of
the union of two souls in splendid love.
He fails to comprehend or understand---
whether out of his strident obtinance;
or maybe just unyielding ignorance---
that love is given, not seized "on demand."
