couples spill from Cornucopia
caught, clutched, crunching
onto pavement as they slam
and the gravel ground scrunching
the force of their sudden landing
holes burnt through atmospheric rubble
new age, new kids, new scorn
a five-thousand-decade struggle
and singles sprout subtly
sporting secular ideals
throwing nuclear doubts and partitions
jealousy: frozen frosted steel
hearts in half and searching
they thaw eventually to the sway
the hallowed pairs light up red strings
to help them on their way
