For Better or Worse

I think you
should
begin the
New Year
with a
wedding.

There is
Someone
you may have
been
overlooking
who is perfect
for you,

in spite of
your all too
frequent
opinion that
they’re not
good enough.

Trust me
when I say
that your
spouse,
if you’re already
married,
will be delighted
by the prospect
of a beautiful
bigamy.

Take those
vows,
you know
the ones
I’m talking about:

For better
or worse,
richer
or poorer,
in sickness
or in health.

And here’s
the thing:

You won’t be
parted by
death.

Have fun
with it.
Elope!
Exchange gifts,
go on a two-week
honeymoon.

Begin 2022
with a
wedding.

Marry
your own
gorgeous
Self.
