JEST RAIGHT: Deconstructing the notion of perfect love

Poem:   Tidal waves of the  of love 
	    have a surprising strength & their ripples 
	    are breezes that inspire new life.

Andrei: (laughing) Can you believe it? 

Poem:   Waves of love can fill our hearts with joy 
	    & their streams have the amazing power to unite.

Rea:    (also starting to laugh) If poetry were a drug, 
	    this person would be an addict! 

Poem:   Let the waves of love grow 
	    & inspire us both to flow.

Diana:  (shrugging) I will say one thing: 
        this poet seems impervious to our conversation. 

Poem:   Let the waves of love lift us up, 
	    turning the murky waters of life 
        into a superb claret that's bright.

Jules:  In one sense at least, I admire poetry: 
        it lifts us beyond the mundane. 

Andrei: (spitting) Has anyone ever asked us if we want to be lifted?

Poem:   The currents of love
        (if you use them right)
        can connect you closely to the heart of life.

Rea:    Gosh dang! I'd rather be in the local bar
        chatting with me buddies than sum dang-fangled poetic dink.
