Love is a potato.

Have you ever seen a potato grow?
Have you ever seen a grown potato?
Have you ever fallen in love?

When I was little, I watched a television show called ZOOM.  They always had a segment
where a guy in bright blue denimn overalls taught an at-home science experiment. 

Once, he taught me how to build a potato obstacle course- a cardboard box with a hole in one end. 
The gist of it is, the potato's single-minded little tendrils
go around, through
and over all of the obstacles
and finally our hero finds the light source
after about a month and a half.

Which seems to me a long time for an at-home science experiment. 

Right now, I am laying in my bed with the quilt pulled up to my ears
(right next to the sides of my smile)
because after two hours of Julie Andrews and nuns and singing children,
the potato found the sun.
