“When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa.

Love-letters again, broaching the word ‘wife’
Like a stored cask,”

“I say, stamping the words with emphasis,
Drink from here energy and only energy,”

And let us, without staying,
All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
