fading spark

did you not heed the

warnings?

you heard the stories

from a thousand friends,

co-workers, past-friends,

past-coworkers---you

watched your own family

deteriorate, you heard from

the cousins & your brother/

sister who took the plunge,

you heard from random

strangers, you watched on

television, you saw it in

films, you heard on

the radio &

yet,

concerning your own specific

scenario (you know,

the one where you live in

happiness, f*****g like bunnies

from sundown to sunup

every goddamn day of the week),

you thought that you &

your significant other

would survive the inevitable

decline of sexual attraction

that comes with the “bliss” of

pledging the

RESSSSSSSSSST

OFFFFFFFFFFFF

YOUUUUUUUR

LIVVVVVVVES

together----

hmmm.
