No love for lovers


No one loves a romantic these days. It seems everyone either wants to be left alone or they want upright citizens of few words. Huff, scowl. furrowed brow, are considered la mode right now, so it would serve you well to lose le sigh, rosy grin and coyly arched eyebrow if you want to be in style. If you prefer poetry to op eds, novels to the economist, whispery songs about "you & me" to ACDC... then you may as well hang up your little heart with wings because flight's of fancy won't get you far. Try pouring cement in your shoes instead, this will keep you sensibly grounded. Just be careful to avoid rooftops, bridges, bars and any place where they might strum guitars.
