***
what they don't tell you
about weddings and pre-nups:
not everything can be split
equally.
basic equations
suddenly confound
four divided by two
becomes zero in
dining room chairs
matching quilts
tea cup sets
and other things
meant to entertain.
i met a girl
who saw that equation
and left
everything
knowing that one is
less lonely than two
divided
inequally.
