i'm no
longer interested in marriage.
i laugh
and show her
the divorce settlements
that i've
framed and hung on the wall.
i tell her
i can't afford to give up half
of everything again,
not at this age.
and why have a business
contract for an emotion
that could change at any
moment, on any give day?
what about a prenup, she says.
protect yourself.
if you truly love someone
don't you want them to be a
part of your life
twenty-four seven,
with no room to breathe?
sounds lovely,
i tell her, but no.
although i am good with
the sleep overs
every couple of days.
