sex ritual at the speed of zero

Post by e_dog » October 29th, 2004, 11:27 pm

marriage is an exercise in--
no, an experiment, a test
of the will, a test
of ones capacity to endure
the commitment of a
masochist
undertaken
in the heat of love
and the fear of loss

there is no
end to unrequited
longing, even at
a distance of an arm's
length

Marriage is a lonely institution
I married my mind one time
because she was a forlorn whore
I don't put my faith in condoms or statistics

Have you ever bet the farm on Romance?
well, the next morning don't remember
the night before. That's why we have lawyers.

there was no pre-nup when my mother was a bitch
and pushed me into this world, but that wasn't the sad part
she also told me about Romance.

it was an odd logic of makeup and stagecraft
more wretched than the law
an experiment in planned abandon
the twelfth century longs for my knightly horse
yeah, I tell myself that
It's all a part of Romance
Like a skinny kid with sand on his face
loves Atlas in the back of a magazine
Romantic love is a post office trick

Marriage should be based on these things:
snoring
body odor
breath
appetite
sleep
yo-yo moods
forgetfullness
suspicion
release

I married the daughter of morning
and then there was the rest of the day.

Marriage is a compromise between two individuals who know they won't stand each other half the time but bear with the truth in order to be happy
