New Age Marriage
We could not attach too strongly
this bond.
Misshapen though, sometimes,
unalert to pain,...others.
Unhappiness, unfulfillment are not
metaphors for disease.
Expecting intensity, offering none,
Have you substituted leaving
for eloquence?
And thought of buying happiness
with a quitter's debt?
Reason for writing:
Notice of the endemic ambivalence of modern couples
toward their marriage vows. JCH
