Stamped In Faded Blue Poem by Chris G. Vaillancourt

Wonderful. The paper came today.
Disguised in an envelope. Pretending
to be important.

Official words. Legal words.
In 31 days from the date
stamped in faded blue,

you and I won't be married anymore.

Never mind that the Church
says this is not so. The Government
of Canada has spoken. The lawyers
have been advised. Officialdom
has done its' doing.

His Worship has sat in judgement.
His Worship has heard the case.

Issued his decree.31 days from
such and such a date,

you and I won't be married anymore.

I'm going to fold this paper up.
Put it back into its' envelope.
Stuff it into the back of a book.

Only take it out and look at it
on very important occasions.

Official words. Legal words.
In 31 days from the date
stamped in faded blue,

you and I won't be married anymore.
