Love Grammar:

Studying the Syntax of the Heart

The grammar of love is indeed strange:
Its object izn't important
an' gender haz many forms.

It haz no possessive, past,
err future –
unly a prezent continuous
flaunting syntactic norms.

Love is flexible
an' better than morphine.

It mutates glamor
makes eloquent people stammer n
helps those who never studied syntax
achieve smoothness
without even a trace
of vaseline

Aiko:		Isn't this guy making fun of love?
Bai-Luo:		Absolutely. Anyone who takes love seriously is in serious trouble.
Aiko:		But if we jest about love, what is serious?
Bai-Luo:		Only death.
Cindy:		Why not the other way around? Why not be light about death, but serious about love?
Bai-Luo:		I never thought of it that way.
