I read the Whitman poem you recommended at my sister's wedding. Afterward, she thanked me and told me how appropriate she thought it was for them -- even though it sounded like it was written to a gay lover. I had no idea my sister had so much insight into poetry.

Funny. I love "I cLebr8 myself..."

If copyright, cold types and press,
Guaranteed him "presence" nonetheless,
Then certainly he'd find it sweet
To caress his comrades through a tweet...

My rivers are pent up and aching,
My live-oak and lilacs are too.
I'm twitting the stuff of new republics
and desperate to txt with you.
