Yoshie:
I slept over these, but grace and holiness don't sound erotic. Walt Whitman used the term "adhesiveness" (in contrast to heterosexual "amativeness"), but outside his poetry it sounds like Scotch tape. :-0
but it reminds me of duct tape. And we know that duct tape is like the Force: not only does it hold the universe together, but there's a Dark side and a Light side. by the way, here are some synonyms for adhesiveness: tackiness, glueyness, gumminess. Why didn't Whitman use one of those in his samplers? (viscidness, anyone?) -- Jim Devine / "... the greatest bulwark of capitalism is militarism." -- Emma Goldman.
