[POEM] Learning Italian Slowly - David Shumate (Book : The Floating Bridge)

It's intresting how the internet summary of this poem is " Humourous poem about learning language"

When I thought that ​it was about, how easily one becomes lighthearted and "makes a fool" Of themselves (without considering act of being a fool as a "bad" Thing) for someone they love

I found this, so beautiful,

Especially "for letting men love her when I could not"
