Poetic Fusion
Janet Johnson

We are poetic fusion
We intend to cause a lyrical revolution
We're going to tear down every institution
And get rid of all manifesto and constitution
Because its time to destroy our illusion
And lift our people out of their confusion
We intend to cause enough damage and intrusion
Because we are poetic fusion

We are poetic fusion
And we intend to cause a lyrical revolution
We're going to cause love intrusion
Because love is the one and only true solution
Yes it is the one and only true solution
We are poetic fusion

How Do I Love Thee?
by Elizabeth B. Browning
Excerpt from "Sonnets of the Portuguese"

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, If God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
