Grand Opening

the first marriage

which lasted

six months, at most,

was a big affair. two hundred

people.

a three tiered

cake,

a band

and hall, 

coats and ties.

a photographer

capturing it all.

no kids or pets allowed.

very fancy.

the white dress,

the tuxedo.

a sit down dinner.

the parents,

so proud.

there was the car out front,

the dodge dart

swinger,

army green,

with cans tied

to the bumper,

streamers

and what not. crazy

friends at work.

and on the side of the car

they wrote,

Grand Opening tonight.

it was the 

worst.
