Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

I’m serious, UPS Man. Let’s do it.
Where do I sign?

But to be quite upfront,

when I only saw rain.
You brought me laughter

11. Because I Liked You
If here, where clover whitens
The dead man’s knoll, you pass,
And no tall flower to meet you
Starts in the trefoiled grass,
Halt by the headstone naming
The heart no longer stirred,
And say the lad that loved you
Was one that kept his word.
—A.E. Housman
12. Harlem Sweeties
Have you dug the spill
Of Sugar Hill?
Cast your gims
On this sepia thrill:
Brown sugar lassie,
Caramel treat,
Honey-gold baby
Sweet enough to eat.
Peach-skinned girlie,
Coffee and cream,
Chocolate darling
Out of a dream.
—Langston Hughes
13. Delight in Disorder
A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat–
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility–
Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part.
—Robert Herrick
14. Far and Here
I am far from solid core,
far from the plane ride to paradise,
far from the sodium dream,
but I am here
and here
I am looking around.
—Allison Grayhurst
15. Untitled
I know a girl who is better than strawberry.
She is farther than the grand white Fujiyama.
She is purer than the water of the wholly Suraj Tal
From where the stream of Chandra flows down
The gorgeous heights of the Himalayas.
She is the spring of joy to me.
—Kabir Raichand
