There is one American word To describe the relationship Between a mother and a daughter A pair of lovers A young boy and his puppy A CEO and his paycheck The sun and the moon Me and these words. It's an American fallacy to believe That what can be bonded by blood Can be consummated in the bedroom Or born of thought What can die in a moment Is immortal, infinite generations old. There is no one word with shoulders powerful enough for that kind of weight.
