ceremonies

one day we get married

another day we divorce


one day the US enters Iraq

another day it leaves


no amount of ceremony
can dignify all the crap
that falls in between.

  1. this is beautiful. fraught with food for thought.

  2. hey nothing uneasy about a little dose of truth. I, for one, like how you've left space between marriage and divorce (and US entering and leaving Iraq) for 'crap to fall'.

  3. the space between lines for truth.

    notice the lines themselves. words are ceremonies too.
