Uncommon wisdom notwithstanding,
it being something of a bind,
I would much rather be demanding -
and here I think we're of a mind -
our unconditional surrender.
Abandon hope, however slender,
of me and I as things apart,
fall to the dictates of the heart,
aglow in love's unchallenged glory.
But wisdom being what it is,
it never fails to rile, to tease,
reminding us: that's half the story,
that, yes, indeed, the story's half...
and oftentimes, that's not enough.
