I found the story of my father's 
FIRST marriage 
INTERESTING 

he SAID 
he was living in a house 
with some guy
and his girlfriend 

I THINK the guy was his friend 
BUT 
that MIGHT be my
INFERENCE 

anyway 
the guy moved away 
& my dad was left with lois 
& he says he said 

let's get married 
& they DID 
BUT 
then she turned out to have a kid
& WANTED the kid to live with them

AND
he was LIKE 
she NEVER said anything about a kid
& had it annulled or something 
maybe they got divorced 
BUT 
it didn't LAST long

I ALWAYS wondered 
SOMETHING about the WAY he said it
if maybe he had
FEELINGS 
for the 
GUY

my mom
she married some guy
who was joining the army
BECAUSE 

QUOTE -- you HAD to get married if you wanted to have SEX 

I think this sounds KINDA ridiculous 
as a thing to say

BECAUSE 
while that MIGHT be a reason to get married in general, it is surely not WHY you marry a 
SPECIFIC person 

ANYWAY 
he went off
& realized there were WOMEN there
& he was there 
& she was not
SO 
he divorced her

SHE made it SOUND like 
she didn't even REALLY KNOW him
I guess he was the best looking guy that was
WILLING

my mom & dad
their romantic story was 

HE was working at a fabric store 
SHE was in buying fabric*

*she made her own clothes 

SHE put her phone number on the check
& he wrote it down 
& CALLED her

he LIKED that SHE was SMART
& studying to be a teacher
& SHE liked
his FLASHING brown eyes
