The Goddess of Love And Beauty Lives In Champaign Illinois 9.7.94

the goddess of love and beauty is living
in Champaign, Illinois
she doesn't like it there much, can you blame her?
not much going on, same people, et cetera
and here she is, the goddess of love and beauty!
I've told her to cheer up, relax, things will improve
but really, why should she listen to me?
she's the GODDESS of LOVE and BEAUTY for chrissakes
she knows all that.
she knows what my advice will be
and she doesn't need it
what does she need?
I wouldn't dare presume to say
well maybe I will.
just for kicks.
here goes.
I am the Goddess of Love and Beauty
and this is what I need.
And not necessarily in this order
I need...
I decided I can't do it after all.
Advice is advice even in a poem.
And advice is only advice if it is needed, wanted
Which it's not
So what do I say to the G.O.L.B.?
That I think she's beautiful and I love her?
C'mon. she's the goddess of love and beauty, so what?
She knows I think those thoughts.
But she's living in Champaign.
And she doesn't like it very much.
And I'm not a god.
And that's what she needs.
Because gods don't give advice.
And gods don't wonder what to say when
they talk to her.
they just be gods together
