  1. 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.

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

  4. 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.
