I think we can both agree
this is a tough world
we’ve been placed in
a location that can be cruel without reservation
that can thoughtlessly destroy the week.

It is wise then
is it not
to avoid being weak
and to find some way to shore up defenses
if only for survival
in these difficult lands?

We are in agreement
I think.

I think that we will also agree
that there is certainly strength in numbers
and divided we would surely be more limited
than conjoined.

Together
we can thrive.

Does this then sound feasible?
Does this then sound plausible?
Does this sound like a plan
we can enact?
If so
please accept these terms
and this dress
for tomorrow’s proposed wedding.
