Like other couples we own problemsA
Except that ours belies our DNAB
Like many others we disagreeC
Except that ours is disagreeableD
We do like other couples hold handsE
Except that we tango to killF
Christian couples we prayB
Except bad against each otherG
-
Like other couples we laughH
Except ours is to mock the otherG
Fertility gave us great kidsI
Only we groomed them to hateJ
Give each other gold and silverG
But meticulously register in diariesK
All the razor sharp talking at wee times of dayB
Seen exaggerated in morning town papersL
-
Like many couples we are uniqueM
Show the world all is fineN
Except that nothing is goodO
We sew uniforms and go to churchP
Afternoon drive through town square sweetly Gorgeous parties we giveQ
Back room broken music n blamesR
The Mayor's certificate bleedsS
-
Sham too late to admitT
Out there awaits my heart's desireG
The cool fountain of lifeU
While I suffocate inside pretenceS
Cowardly playing the Strenuous Gentleman Blurting discord from fellow pretendersS
Pretend ours is unfathomed blissS
As lives lie wasted singing lovely marriageV
