Sonnet from the Porch de Guise

Somewise the worse for week-end wear am I,
ha'ng droove fra' 10 till 3, sore underslept,
and ta'en what seemed namo than brevest lie
at 'Comfort Inn' (sic, fancifully clept)
avaunt of rude conveyance to the fields
to sweat, unwater'd, whipt, and watch'd alway,
to pick and gin swich fruit the seson yields:
proposal bolls (and heirloom résumé).
So bring a little coffee, Sylvie, bring
a little coffee now-ow; bring a lit-
tle coffee, Sylvie, ev'ry once in a while:
that I might my mastren mollify wit' wit
and bit by bit the brutest beast beguile...
ah, mind tha' not: der Schlaf is beckoning...

I has a tough decision

Hey queer types: Who's going to be coming to D.C. on the weekend of October 11 to march for equal marriage rights? I have way too much going on that weekend and can't decide whether to stay put or travel hither and yon. It would help to know whether various LJ persons I love, admire, and/or grow a chubby o'er will be coming to town that weekend. Say!
