Lyric Poet Disease

Yesterday I fell in love eleven times –
With my son’s teacher, two joggers,
Three dog-walkers, the pharmacist’s
New assistant, the latte girl at
The coffee shop, a Lesbian
Couple, and my ex-wife –
But today I did not fall in love at all.

Tomorrow I’m planning to marry –
I’m going to feast in the groves and kiss a tick,
I’m going to camp along a river/on a mountain
And build my own fire, I’m going
To ask out the latte girl with foam on her lips
And we will pitch a tent on a bed near the sea.

I am truly digging this one.
I cant even find a part to snip because the whole thing is perfect.
