Married for Life

                        But instead
You only have one date: on it

You have one very honest conversation
Exploring exactly where you both are

In life, and how
You truly feel. And what you truly think.

And then you have sex
Or not: whatever.

And then you both acknowledge
That you don’t want—or need—

To speak to each other ever again.


The line breaks and hanging line indents may be incorrectly formatted because I cannot be bothered to fiddle with the HTML. View the correct formatting in the full collection Juveni… Doesn’t Matter (The Grey-Salmon Book) (and subscribe at the top of the page).
