Wedding Song. Lehman, D. Valentine Place, 1996.
abstract   bibtex   
Poetry is a jailbreak of life As jailbreak is a criticism of prison. I now pronounce you man and wife. The pencil has no chance against the knife, You can't compete with television. Poetry used to be a criticism of life. Because you play together like drum and fife On the Fourth of July, your favorite season, I now pronounce you man and wife. The sonnets resisted, though they were rife With clues subjected to a critic's misprision: Poetry may not be a criticism of life. In a field full of purple loosestrife, Does happiness require a reason? I now pronounce you man and wife. The fruits of peace, to be peeled with a kinfe, Await your teeth. It's your decision. Is poetry a criticism of life? I now pronounce you man and wife.

As jailbreak is a criticism of prison. 
I now pronounce you man and wife.

The pencil has no chance against the knife, 
You can't compete with television. 
Poetry used to be a criticism of life. 

Because you play together like drum and fife 
On the Fourth of July, your favorite season, 
I now pronounce you man and wife. 

The sonnets resisted, though they were rife 
With clues subjected to a critic's misprision: 
Poetry may not be a criticism of life. 

In a field full of purple loosestrife, 
Does happiness require a reason? 
I now pronounce you man and wife. 

The fruits of peace, to be peeled with a kinfe, 
Await your teeth. It's your decision. 
Is poetry a criticism of life? 
I now pronounce you man and wife.},
