love coverage

few things are guaranteed and romance isn't one of them... why not??

What stands guaranteed?
The moon's drifting away, oh
inconstant cosmos.

Gravity fights us,
taxes come due, boys will orgasm,
some things are certain.

 What about love? We
need extended warranties
for consumer faith.

Permanent pressed
love - no crumpled hopes
- investor safety.

“Love bonds”, or "emo-
care?” No worry, we’ll find a
marketable name...

This has a wit and a sardonic voice as it looks at how we often see concepts like love and just how packaged the media portrays love in perfumes and flowers and chocolates etc.

You are so good dear Anais. Your words danced on question and real life. You write with the eyes of a ancient writer. I loved the ending.

I'd like to short the market, seems like the safest bet. The investment product is highly valued at the moment but easily flipped. It's a clever concept for a poem though.

Imagine, if you will, room after room of teary actuaries counting the heartbreaks and balancing them against the ecstasies, debits on the left , credits on the right ad infinitum .

Why, it will revolutionize accounting! Accountants will become romantic and empathetic - it will do them good!
