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.
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.”

* Be of love a little more careful
than of anything."
