For the cynical romantics

I saw this photo earlier today and it reminded me of my favorite Billy Collins poem (and maybe even all-time favorite poem), "Vade Mecum".


I want the scissors to be sharp


and the table to be perfectly level


when you cut me out of my life


and paste me in that book you always carry.
