Matrimony

All marriages end:
Half in divorce;
Half in death.
One cup is half-full;
The other half-empty.
Figuring out which cup
Belongs to whom
Is the lawyer's problem.

Mr. Andrews' poem from yesterday inspired me to write this along with Crane's "Assassin" poem.

Well played. I like how you give a slight nod to Crane, but still have the old Vogelman cynicism that pops up in your poems from time to time.
