Men and Marriage

Art by Kerry James Marshall “Lost Boys”

Is love enough. Can it be held to vows of a younger mind and body that will definitely change like weight to bring something different to want.

Is this subtle suffering? Chasing away something old in pursuit of a flash to capture the moment you found new temptation.

Staring at it. Shaking it into focus for later use and play, when the skin your used to betrays the vow, you never said but thought was and should be universally known and expected. To keep our looks, to mind our bodies, and make each other’s satisfaction our business.

But unfortunately, or fortunately, - (I could never decide), -we don't own each other and can't require payment, despite the agreement made under God, that can be severed by a paper claiming denial, and enforced by a stranger, paid to bring us satisfaction outside of the movie star popping up on our screen, with a figure you never knew you liked until boredom struck.

But nah its cool, it ain't easy, but its good tho, if you're ready.
