Regarding marriage: Whose idea was this? Isn't each poor shimmering star alone? Can a nimble munchkin alter at the altar His/her belief that his/her soul is his/her own? Is a former frog to die in bit and halter, Ever disenchanted with a kiss? A star spins slowly through a field of bliss, No motion save what does all motion alter, Dependent on the love of every stone. Just so are we the music of a psalter Unknowing, moved by melodies we miss. Didn't the maid move blindly towards that kiss? Yet happily they wed, as is well known.
