so simple
From 'Trumping the Token Jester'

How can something so momentous
Seem so normal? It's absurd!
How can handing one's life over
Be as simple as these words?
Does everyone feel this calmness
As they offer their hand to another?
Do they feel so soothingly certain
As they look at their partner and lover?

Is it something supernatural
That makes this all make sense?
Should passing a ring to another
Be a good deal more intense?
Should spending your lives together
Be as easy as this seems?
Of course it should, you know that
That's what this marriage means.
