    • i believe the poem is about sex/love. i mean, on the surface at least. can’t speak to its depths.

      • You see, now I’m trying to imagine a poem that uses erotic lady love imagery as a metaphor for the glory of the unicorn. And now, I hope, so are you.

  1. Headlamp’s in the right place. What if you need to put tampon in in the dark?
