one or less than one

i don't understand
the cults,
the religious groups
that allow more than one wife.
some with as many ten.
one or less than one
to me would be sufficient.
i understand that variety
is the spice of life, but
i don't need ten women
telling me to put the seat down,
to get my feet off the coffee
table, to be home at a certain
time for dinner,
and then the talking.
all that talking telling me
how their day went.
recapping what the kids did,
how the neighbors
got a new min-van that seats
twelve,
and what's on sale at
Nordstrom's Rack.
