Love Check

[DoYouEverWonder]

What is love?

So I kissed her, and my hand touched her back, her waist, and I ran it up to her neck, it was warm, and her hair was between my fingers and it smelled damp and sweet and clean like baby shampoo.

Love loves to love love. Nurse loves the new chemist. Constable 14A loves Mary Kelly. Gerty MacDowell loves the boy that has the bicycle. M. B. loves a fair gentleman. Li Chi Han lovey up kissy Cha Pu Chow. Jumbo, the elephant, loves Alice, the elephant. Old Mr Verschoyle with the ear trumpet loves old Mrs Verschoyle with the turnedin eye. The man in the brown macintosh loves a lady who is dead. His Majesty the King loves Her Majesty the Queen. Mrs Norman W. Tupper loves officer Taylor. You love a certain person. And this person loves that other person because everybody loves somebody but God loves everybody.

And even when you showed me, norton ash
My heart was out of tune
For there's a shadow of doubt that's not letting me find you too soon
The music that you gave me
The language of my soul
Oh Lord, I want to be with you.
Won't you let me come in from the cold?

Lord, won't you come and get into my heart?

Plus this one, with a shout-out to Stephen Morgan for indirectly reminding me that a long, long time ago I saw what I'd swear was the very performance in that video were it not for one or two incompatible details. (Year listed, size and location of audience, et cetera.)

Until just now, nothing has prompted me to remember that show at all since approximately forever. For some reason.

Love-checking is a many-splendored thing.

MY BIG HEART

Doctor listened with his stethoscope
To my inner machinery, and said
"You've got a big heart; thumping out time
All around your chest."

I said, "Yes I know
Since every undeservedly aimed blow
Ever driven at anyone has hit it.

"It's swelling all the time with hope
For this one, that one, others popping out
From wombs firing like machine-guns
Each new person jumped and mugged for profit,
Learning language by hearing himself cursed
For being here and ever having done
Anything except for a bully's gain:
Starting with the crime of birth.

"Doctor: It's for a bomb I need this big heart
To smash those liars into a great squashed stain
When the pressure jumps too much, and it blows apart."
