No matter how you consider it (who hasn't) -
It's a contract.

Not the same thing as contact
Although one might wish it were so, since
That word gives such hopeful prospects, promising (among other things) -
"An occurrence in which people communicate with each other."

Once you add the "r" the terrain becomes treacherous.  
Agreement is the foundation, but legality is required
And worse, a specific form involves
Cold-blooded ******

How ridiculous that seems in light of the simple fact of our connection.
It does that all on its own.

Contact is so deceptively simple -
So brutally honest in it's being there, or not
As for communication, you fuckwitted glamour queen -
I throw up my hands at you.

Contract is the most intimate of all.
Promising to share *** and death and possibly even birth.
But intimate can be vague and crazy.
A party animal bullshitter who leaves a lot unsaid.

It's not necessary to understand how it works when it works.
In the case of marriage, it might even be fatal.
Love is a given when it's true.
I learned that from you.
