marriage

i think if you really want to feel alone
you must get married

it’s logically sound
that you would feel the most lost
in supposedly the place
you are least likely to be lost

if you would really like to experience loneliness
get married and then chain yourself
to the rock of things that do not change

and do not worry about keeping warm

the putrid corpes of all the laughed-at promises
will stave off the coldness in the night
