Okay—the truth is
that one
day—on planet earth
after running
and re-
running—all of the numbers;
and painting
like crazy—
all of the corners;
and paving carefully
over
all of the
math that's still showing;
you'll look
one last time—totally bonkers
into the
tired
old eyes of one another—
and you'll say
faithfully—that you barely
even remember
whether or not
you ever
decided—to get married.
