Inviolable Social Institution
it is this inviolable
social institution where
a kitten
has learned to sleep
with the puppy
without too much
strain
in their loneliness
they have learned to accept
that differences
do not matter
when love fails however
they invoke
the power of the law
eventually, one becomes
the lawbreaker
while the other one
enjoys the sweet fruits
of alimony
one becomes free
and shouts his newly acquired freedom
the other too
if you only know
does the same
in another place another party.
