It’s easy to be disappointed by the life of the mind.
Too much thought can make the body absolutely blind.
But come with me, and I’ll show you how
Imagination can make me love you now
Who hated you before,
And you will dazzle, even though, in truth, you are a big fat bore.
I will be in love and it will not be an act;
It will be the mind presenting syllabification and tact;
It will be poetry refusing to be separate from poetry’s fact;
It will be cunning pressing against your breast,
And weeping. For mind together with emotion is the best.
