Love your suggested revision ("wife" instead of "life") for the last line of Marion's poem!

But, yeah, really -- "Feeling Sorry for God" -- it's special, as Gilda used to say.
Wendy,

Here's one definition of "oscillate":

Mathematics. (of a function, sequence, etc.) to tend to no limit, including infinity: The sequence 0, 1, 0, 1, … oscillates.

It's too good for the BAD. I wonder if you had the mathematical connotation tucked away inside your hypothalamus all these years.
