it says so in the Bible

she said to me once
that 
you don't understand adultery
because you've
never been
in love. real love
like me and Jimmy have.
God says
adultery is okay if two
people
love each other,
even if they're
both married
and carrying on secretly.
show me in the Bible
where it says that, i tell her.
to which she
replies,
we ain't no Bible scholars.
but i swear to you
it's in there, between the lines,
or at the very least
implied by Moses,
or Jeremiah, or someone
like that with
a name i can't pronounce.
