CLING 

Static cling is invisible, 
yet it's there. 

Say something nasty 
about Joe and it clings.  

So too  - certain  words.  
They pick up lots of cling.  

So too the day on the calendar 
a spouse or a parent or a child dies.  

As I said, “Cling is invisible,   
but check it out."   

E.E. Cummings told us to be  
a little more careful about love.*  

I’d say: “Be careful about what  
we say about each other.”

than of anything."
