large events
can transform — even
the most confident
individual into not just
a thimble full of anxiety
but — a massive size
puddle of expectations
and permissions
which right off
the bat are
 |
| swee tarts |
denied…
which left me no choice
but to elope — my wedding
day consisted of waking
up with my love
— all the preparations
had been made
at the local
chapel
all we had to do
was show up
and say
“i do!”
that\’s my knot tying
experience — all my life
i knew i wasn\’t meant
to have a splashy
nuptial celebration
with hundreds
of individuals
in attendance
— that i\’d probably
never see
again…
needless to say
it was a wonderful
crisp autumn day
ensconced
in l\’amour…
