should i marry airy

“should i marry airy?”
he said to me one monday
it was crying rain outside
made me wonder if i should run and hide
and find a place i’d rather die
like in the arms of a man who loved me.
(i love you)

so i spoke to him like he was a dog
floppy haired adorned with a beard
shave it
save it
for me later

grow it long like your other hair
but don’t cuz that would be queer
and we aren’t like that

so in business it’s not personal
still be best friends
but then what if i was mad
and we are all together sort of glad
you can remember it all now

the plan
the secret plan

here it goes:

don’t not marry airy
but keep it superficiary
like the way you married kate
was on purpose
for this fate
delete all evidence
of that painful date
and give yourself a dream wedding
in front of the world
who won’t see it’s ending.

so give it to airy
for all the load she had to carry

4 weddings
and a funeral.
