till death do us part

she talks about marriage,
about wanting
that again, growing
old together with
someone, even after
two failed tries.
perhaps it's her
generation, thinking
that having a ring,
a man, a home
together makes her
life right. she wants
so badly to sign
that business contract
for a wavering emotion
and there is nothing
you can do to talk
her off that ledge,
she needs once more
to take that marital
swan dive. she'll
even wear white, she
says, because this one
will be the real
thing. forever
and ever, till death
do us part.

I figure if I try it again, the logical progression would be for this third time to last longer than the second, which lasted a hell of a lot longer than the first (19 yrs vs. 9 mos). If it does, then it will end up being till death do us part unless great strides are made toward immortality. Hahahahaha.
