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
