Conspiratory Love Poem Addressing All Imaginable PossibilitiesShafer HallTwo people in different boroughs could not survive putting their heads together at one time, such plans require feet and chests and hips; these also have to get together or get near, so everything ends up an ardent mess on an evening pier.
