The Post-History of Holy Matrimony
After Cliff and Jilly's wedding,
they discovered someone or thing
had strewn the Road to Happiness
with boulders. Strove to remove
them, often at odds. Babies arrived,
distractingly, and C&J plodded bravely
enough in and out of the bungalow
on Appletree Lane. When fledglings
teen, horribly hating all and sundry,
Bride and Groom grit through. Fast way
forward and Kids have their own--will soon
enough again attempt comprehending serial
heartbreak in highschool. Old marrieds
have retired to Cocoa Beach in some confusion,
feeling they should’ve figured it out by now. Mal-
adies, however, seize the forefront. And how!
GERD for him, a strange clickclack in
the back of her sacroiliac.* Will
you raise your glasses to couples?
If you’re one, then higher still!
