Wherefore the punctuation of the heart
When that slim prim agape
LOVE
Erred into
L, O, V, E,
Encomma'd in uncertainty,
Is neither
L; O; V; E;
Haltered in some Philistine design;
Nore
L: O: V: E:
Encumbered in even depper discelebration:
Let not
L/O/V/E/
Staggered stumbled unrequitedly/
Quite not
L-O-V-E-
Shackled in measured irony -
Should not be
(L)(O)(V)(E)
(Buttressed incarceration)
But most not
L. O. V. E.
Hated anagram of death.
Instead quoth
"L" "O" "V" "E"
Not "nevermore" for "evermore"
