for D

it's not a course you take at penn
there were weightier matters there at hand
economics and finance and whatnot
spring breaks and cool gigs and foxtrot
ok fine, so there was no dance
i'm breaking away from the tyranny of the stan-za

in those halcyon days
romance teased but didn't linger
in the intervening years
there was a dim sum dalliance
still, true love took its time
and the heart yearned and hungered

but here it is
under the light
sure and certain and right
this might sound premeditated
but "the hardest to learn was the least complicated"

(from the indigo girls' least complicated)
