SINCERITY

Do not overwhelm me			
	With smothering sincerity.		

		Sincerity like that
			Is not the stuff
				Of which our love 
					has been conceived.
			Instead, please
				Thread our days
					With impromptu,
						Silly mad funny
    Pointless and Loving things.

				Because, my Darling,
					Things like these
						Are very truly
							Much much more sincere.

copr. 1970 - Cecil Dossett
