Wild Monogamies

Unorthodox monogamies is happy monogamies according

to The Book of All Monogamies which advises several Beds 

and Bathrooms separate Duvets separate Nights of Play 

His and Hers the His being Husband who unlike Many Men 

if not Most did not after Matrimonies expect Wife to sing

like Bird in Cage in fact he never once Considered cage 

- Absurd, a Cage! - and if He the Husband had exhibited 

captor Vibes she’d have yanked her trousers Down and Mooned

his pretty Face with her green anjou never Poached

by anyone in the loving Oven no thank you kind Sir 

but moving forward not in Any Chapter is there Cage

only Birdsong short and sweet and long Song allowing

for Glorious breaking of Encrusted rules so brittle they snap

like a twig bent like a bloodless finger pointing and Hollering - Ho! - 

god Forbid she dance Alone or Talk and Walk alongside Men

who are Not Husband anjou swinging To and fro Maximus firing

In Jubilance one Leg in Front of the other walking better yet Dancing 

and pear is Hers and No One else’s like She is Hers and Husband is His

and after Walking alongside each other for One Hundred Sundays

they fight Less and Protect more the Other’s solitude like the famous poem

they take Seriously enough to recite Aloud such sacred Truths

like if You want to be a Cow be a Cow be a Cow be a Cow

or Bonny Llama go have fun Bonny Llama and when you Return 

I will be Here asleep He said or mooing or Spitting or On All Fours

up to you Heretic wife who Kicks and screams when Aspersions 

are Cast who Refuses to extract the long Bones of her Legs

to fit Jelly Molds of Tradition who daily dekes Death by Tedium - Ho! - 

instead here’s a Great idea how about you Have that cigarette

if you damn well please and I will Not watch the clock until Midnight

when you get Home and wake me and Tell me exactly how you Want it

Oh is that right you Freaky bitch moo moo spit spit llama llama

or perhaps Tonight you rest your weary Head upon this Hairy chest 

and we Song About because there is only Forest floor verdant Canopy

to explore and the music of Bird who never knew Cage so why in Hell

would some Stranger why in Hell would some Hotdog Sweating insinuation

assume Bird seeks Cage - Ho! - It is Not because the cage is Righteous No

it is Never That it is Because they do not Imagine a future a Life a song Beyond it
