3 Months

if a woman loses a baby she has been carrying
for 3 months it is no big deal
she doesn't know if it was a boy or girl
she hasn't had time to feel the idea
to fully accept the miracle
she was thinking of names, maybe, but still hadn't
bought a book or asked for suggestions

if a marriage ends after 3 months everyone knows
it was a joke to begin with
if there was an expensive wedding and honeymoon
the bride and groom are idiots and will get no
sympathy from anyone involved
if they just got married in a courthouse or in Vegas
people will say or at least think Well What Did You
Expect? If You Get Married Like That It Isn't Going
To Last.

your empty heart can be found and blown up like a
balloon in 3 months
it can float free over miles of ocean and be
envied by landlocked hearts stuck in gridlock traffic
your heart can be punctured by an angry beak
your heart can fall into the waves and be eaten
by a shark cruising by
sharks will eat anything
