i object

the humor
goes first in a soured
relationship.
the sweet words of endearment
are kaput.
no more, sweet potato
or sugar dumpling
or
would you be a dear
and do this
my sweetness.
it takes a formal turn.
first and middle
names.
or mister this or miss
are said clearly.
each one holding a gavel
and a grudge
to object
at what's said next.
