Por Supuesto Que Si!

by Sheila E. Murphy

Do I conflate your valentine with my heterodox dissertation? Do I menage your trois in keeping with prevailing triune dogma? Do I fritter away your time casting aspersions on your person, number, gender, case, and syntax? Do I camp out at your campsite seeking fractional shares of smoke? Do I infract our vows with extrasensory inception with depth of feeling? Do I roam where Buffalo drone intoning "when in Rome"?
