I MIGHT MARRY RHEA 
 

I might marry Rhea: she’s got something in her smile,

Life between her teeth,

Acrobats inside her eyes.

 

I might marry Rhea, but it won’t be out of love.

Something less than that,

Maybe just cause things got tough. 

 

I might marry Rhea when she gets that rural place -

The one with all the land -,

And something done about her face. 

 

I might marry Rhea, if she says she will, of course.

We’ll have some happy years

And then file for a divorce.

Smiled all 5x reading this.... I relate, I can hear some of my best mates in versions of this making their case....... well done*

As for me... yaa, wellll... I have a bit more of a pirate prospective on this... as we say "if you find a diamond in the rough, steal it, dont ask questions and dont look for imperfections cause if you treat it right & polish it a bit, you're gonna win the treasure hunt over the long game".... but then again, failure is an option.... Its all about the comeback story, sharpen the skills, get better at it, it aint easy, but its an adventure for sure... I'd do it again*

I especially liked the line 'Acrobats inside her eyes.' It's such inspiration that makes the poem tick
