February: Year-day 60

So this is Sadie Hawkins Day.  What fun!
Yet, what disturbance!  How shall--?  We call this
leap year: the year, one would suppose, we'd miss--
by leaping, I mean--a day, not put one
in.  On the other hand, the ladies leap
on gentlemen this day--are allowed to,
that is--though I doubt there are many who
now, if ever, such a tradition, keep.

At any rate, we go about enjoying
it, as we can, making a feast of little,
or so its seems, although we're not quite able
to much explain--perhaps we are employing
a mystery, a special kind of riddle,
or symbol of--our clasped hands/ on a table.
