"I wanted to ask,
'What aisle did you find

your serenity, do you know

how to be married for fifty years,

or how to live alone,

excuse me for interrupting,

but you seem to possess

some knowledge that makes

the earth burn and turn on its axis.'
But we don't request such things from
strangers nowadays.
So I said, "I love your hair.""
