Next	1. cicisbeo You come to me, supplicant. I ask what you want, and you Stammer into silence. You do not say, love me. You do not say, think of me. You do not say you wish For a mentor, a friend, A shoulder to cry on. And your very silence is an invitation. Your silence is an empty page on which I sketch The starry-eyed dreams I've known, the crushes And the crushing disappointments. And so I think of you, and counsel you, And call you friend. Never one for temperance, I talk too much. Let us have our grand experiment. But you must fill in the blanks And tell me When to hush.
