M’s


we’re not trying to reinvent the wheel
we’re just trying to love in a world hostile to the idea.

one man
and
one woman
bonded in an institutional union being used to define
love.
laws are made to help
clarify
the definition.
tax breaks are shuffled around as rewards
congratulations
you owe the government less money as two.
where is my three person tax break?
can I claim my girlfriend
and my girlfriends girlfriend
on my tax forms in April?
oh
wait
no
back to that definition of love - monogamy, marriage, and money.
