Silent Betrothal
Preacher whispered vows
Bird wings flapped it to the heavens

Gay marriage argument
Irrelevant folding chairs in heaven's senior wing
Council meeting adjourned

Origami polygamy creases
Piece of paper transformed into art
Cigar bands encircle ring finger

Copyright Ms. Sage Sweetwater, firebrand lesbian novelist

Piece of paper defies art

"Origami polygamy creases

This is so-o-o-o-o good!!!!!! I remember cigar band rings, and also gum wrappers folded into pieces of jewelry.

You rock, Sage!!!!

it's a shame it has to be silent at all. it should be celebrated like a wild f--n orgy, like Saturnalia for six months of debauched revelry and thorns in sides of uptight, ninnying neer-do-wells who are more threatened by the BUG biting at their shoulder than things that really matter. and i'm all for gay couples raising children too! i would have preferred two loving, gay parents to my heterosexual nightmare upbringing any day of the week. excellent piece, right on.

I just love "Irrelevant folding chairs in heaven's senior wing"...senior, mind

what two put together is pursuit of their earthly happiness let one judge.
Excellent, Sage!

There are a variety of reasons for a Silent Betrothal. It's important for each of us to find our happiness in our own way and avoid being judgemental of others.
