The new love poem is known for its honesty. The new love poem says I don't love you.

The new love poem remembers the old love poem in which a woman's body was compared to the entire world. The new love poem tries not to feel superior to the old love poem.

The new love poem can live on a steady diet of bitter fruit. The new love poem thinks sweets are for children.

When the new love poem sleeps, it dreams of getting old, of shriveling to a chrysalis, of something with wings and color so loud it talks emerging to thrill someone who doesn't know any better and who doesn't want to.

Perfect poem for a night when sleep is impossible.

ALVY'S VOICE-OVER After that it got pretty late. And we both hadda go, but it was great seeing Annie again, right? I realized what a terrific person she was and-and how much fun it was just knowing her and I-I thought of that old joke, you know, this- this-this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy. He thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" And the guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much how how I feet about relationships. You know, they're totally irrational and crazy and absurd and ... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us need the eggs.

From the movie, ANNIE HALL

The little airplanes of the heart with their brave little propellers What can they do against the winds of darkness even as butterflies are beaten back by hurricanes yet do not die They lie in wait wherever they can hide and hang their fine wings folded and when the killer-wind dies they flutter forth again into the new-blown light live as leaves
