​LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE

I was thinking of thinking of thinking 
of divorcing you. I remembered  
Sarah Palin calling marriage a covenant 
with God. God really must get over 
being disappointed in people.  
Things break. They just do. So, 
should I divorce you or should we 
vacation in the Yukon? We could hunt 
for little yellow flowers that Minnie said 
grew wild outside of Whitehorse, renew 
creaky vows on the steps of a restaurant 
that won’t reopen, turn our bodies 
into dice and roll them right out of 
the closed casino of time
