Capitalist Weddings

They
Those Guys Out There
Like leeches lurking in silty mud
Blood and rotting drives them wild

They
Strap love to the assembly line
Its parts are analyzed and attached
Like a car with power windows and locks

Whatever happened to just rolling down the window?

Eventually, it is approved
With its FDA/EPA/National Wedding Etiquette
Stamps of approval
Like billboards on a pristine wilderness highway…
