Preface, (albeit poetically pockmarked titled):
Oy gevalt - moi ongepotchket married life,
I immediately did kvetch
since sorry excuse for sex pistol
made successful pollination obligatory mandate
concealed within thatched vetch
combining guaranteeing harvesting top notch wretch.
Rutting season (24/7/365 days) touted me being
biologically, effectively, and irresistibly virile - yay
once thy future spouse (Abby Robin)
found herself in the family way
with what would turn out to be oy vey
the first of our two daughters – I do say
determined and sealed the sticky decision,
gathering rosebuds while we may...
our rolling in the figurative hay
to wed said mother of thine eventual
female progeny on an agreed upon day.
Both of us happened to be older
grown offspring at ten times thrice,
or about three plus decades to be generally
better than never for husbandry to suffice
and drew our fate sealed courtesy no clay dice.
Said age difference approximately
year and a half between us two,
and both miserably living with parents,
which o’er the years particularly
amidst 324 Level Road rancor grew
since age eighteen years Psy idyllic Gangnam Style
conspired rage against me sheen matt chew.
I agreed to pledge my troth
on premise this writer
(christened Matthew Harris)
aka king o one Scott the lighter
found himself in the throes
becoming potential mister re: mom)
per one dominant seminal
striver Darwinian fighter.
Since neither of us took precautions
and I threw prophylactics to the wind,
hence the inevitable (i.e. so called
bun in the oven), nonetheless
tasting (think kumquats) supposed
quintessential verboten fruits
branded us as having sinned
took us by surprise and got us
necessarily biologically pinned.
Even though a decision to tie
comitragedy farcical, inimical,
lyric, operatic, rabbinic, universalistic,
green eggs and hammering xanthocomic Doctor Seuss
the gordian knot (more like noose)
donning the role of future father
tightened and n’er got loose
an inner conflict jostled thine inner being
against forming legal wedded union – the deus.
Prior to taking that legal vow
to be husband and wife
until death doth us part before
justice of the peace
(which building matter
of fact, happens to be
a hopper, skipper and jumper
from where this seat
experienced posterior strife
because his gluteus maximus
constitutes sitting on bony arse
as if being cut by knife
matrimonial bliss seemed
like pipe dream
in subsequent years only to spiral
into maelstrom of some chaotic life.
In truth, the prospect to marry
in general mills and aforementioned
gal in particular
hardly filled yours truly
giddy with excitement
but decision this troubadour
wished to defer and tarry.
Passive agreement to acquiesce
meekly saying that necessary “I do”
impregnating the woman named above
transpired until her belly grew
swollen with Eden Liat
thy current star student
resides within San Francisco, California,
whereas aged Missus sound asleep – 24/7
counting sheep lined up in queue,
yet lately this personal
state of affairs I chronically rue
and immerse myself
reminiscing about yesteryear
and wonder why passivity
elected as way to escape
utter aversion living
with ma dad and
(thy die late ting gulling) mom
both analogously cooking
in boiling can a bull stew
marinating tenderloins true
forever psychologically scarring kinder
with absolute zero tender loving care value.
Predilection to play Russian roulette
by avoiding any safe sexual mode
i.e. contraceptives to avoid unplanned pregnancy
shrugged atlas off while spermatozoa
adhered to reproductive code
which absence to use birth control also arose
as natural propensity to procreate
from natural urges that did goad.
Now, less joy de vivre doth prevail
to remain monogamous and
uphold strictures from this male
fidelity, integrity morality,
et cetera buts ahead without fail
from rampant testosterone urge
to become appeased, fulfilled, satiated
no matter this then few dozen
plus year bride and groom blindly entered
the unalterable sacred covenant,
whence sexual need now does ail.
After birth of daughter numero dos did arrive
the preponderance of physical gratification
took kamikaze nose dive
seeks special care in lass for
long lasting marriage and love to strive.
Bunched up (er... likened to petrified animal build dung), ewe would not bull heave housed within Montgomery County Magisterial District Court 38-1-06 925 Montgomery Avenue, Suite 100, the bailiwick of Judge: Henry Schireson reigned since time immemorial. His credentials to officiate as principal scholled justice of the peace acquiesced to perform civil marriage codifying said union between yours truly and mother of my future daughters. Thus brief introduction ushers thee most singular (and therefore subsequently defacto unique experience at, or in, a wedding, id est comprising (mine) first and only occasion I espoused linkedin (think) courtesy monogamous yoke.
Believe me you, this garden variety, generic, glib guy (strongly resembling eponymous Geico caveman did not wish to tie the figurative Gordian knot, but more so favored begetting progeny. Why buy the milk, when I could get the cow (heifer gird) for free?
Actually livingsocial plenti adjacent to Hatfield meat processing plant quickly (steeped within water bug infested initial blissfully wedded abode), and encouraged, excited appetite for consumption regarding aborigine bovine concubine, divine elephantine feline, gamine, hypermasculine iodine Jasmine, latrine doused methamphetamine moonshine, nectarine pristine, porcine predilection posited gross gourmand stemming within me (just regular quasi stellar Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater), whose termagant wife could not keep her mouth shut, therefore I put her in a pumpkin shell, and yours truly kept her very well into present.
Though above paragraph prevaricated, (cuz hyperbole tends to accentuate agonizing, despairing, haranguing, marinating and scathing zings. The childlike antics of behavioral challenges exhibited courtesy bride heaved (hooch she mendacious) expletives laced epithets purportedly as wifely endearments. Little did either of us recognize, how such execrable fulminations, (nor did yours truly seek amenable resolutions, but oftimes resorted to feeble fisticuffs and kooky kicks) to parry and thrust sparring no recourse to win-win holy moly roly poly marital affections.
Now allow, enable, and provide me courtesy
to share passé qua rhyming tiff
jump/kick starting starting (think analogously
electroshock therapy) absent wedded bliss
regarding lackluster rigor mortis matrimony
anthropomorphized as grateful dead stiff
dynamics betwixt charade, facade, invade riff
more often than not, our marriage miff
approached brass knuckled fist cull cliff.
Thy whole corporeal being of mine didst ache,
while my psyche doth bake,
akin how ghostly Marie Antoinette
tricked us envision rock hard cafe burnt cake,
these attempts to forewarn you no fake
nor ever appeased gobbledygook issuing Jake.
Honest to dog, this then
wallowing, succumbing, languishing, and drowning
within self made Woebegone Lake
dada, father, mister mom, papa, senor, "sir"
or other endearments one kin make
referring to that paternal parent whose care
and concern does not slake
despite your absence - which truth be told
makes the heart grow fonder
as father/daughter love did wake.
Nonetheless I did smart with
pride and joy in sum: re offspring,
no matter every night went to sleep -
four after midnight
all the while riddled with misery
emotionally overloaded being
did heavily Carrie
four after midnight and into break of day
and even felt so upset,
this inexpert biological guardian
felt obliged to email you in part
encouraged by Amelie and Shari,
(mine endearing, charming, and adoring
eldest and youngest sisters respectively,
who thought best to
stave, thwart and uncouple
off grave dissatisfaction
closer to when ye with part with sweet sorrow
teary eyes leaving splendor offered by Dunning's
aghast at my being jackknifed with weariness.
Abysmal condition of 1148 Green Lane abode
with personal affects scattered
as if cyclone did thriftly impact with ear splitting drone,
thru nearly every room, when disarray –
best not told over the phone
to allow time to asses these words –
written on the fly (a very large one)
with minor editing slight intent to hone,
but invariably let dagger of wretchedness
(that found me sullen, and still does),
and so glad you and Shana on loan
in Bend, Oregon - for ye could only
pointlessly, rapidly, and testily screech and moan
at futility to alter, but
never stop Sisyphean rolling
at greased lightning pottering Sorcerer's stone.
"Mother" (zee misses) often times hell bent on her
swiftly tailored one directional Harry pottering reedsy style
left trail of agonizing, burning,
and cleaving flesh with inconsolable tears
(MINE - but I tried to keep mum)
in her wake that didst rile
and thus ask your input relocating with
my lovely awesome young altruistic sibling
this then winter break = in a way a sort of trial
for apples of me eyes,
(WHOM I DID concede to MISS DEARLY)
To escape this maelstrom a while.
Many orbitz since Earthling
did rack chronological age to ascend
I ponder this point...to complete your education
and Shana Punim or course in Bend,
where internal worries provision
from kid sister sibling
like magic did mend
until I could pack and trek out west
without thee senora Zison-Harris
who, will receive money to spend
if...(after battle axe and her henchwomen
did evict along boulevard of broken dreams) when
the house and possessions finally sold
(at our emotional expense)
dollars for donuts, or an equitable amount of yen.
Ire didst arise
at me for sullying the remaining days
before ye and your sister takes to the sheltering skies
yet, how many yesterday's gone by, Amelie witnessed
her bro in a Uriah heap of lovely bones
tormented with agony at your mortification
at the state of utter entropy though...maybe Abby tries
Matthew tried with feeble futility to encourage
Eden and shana to share with those who care
immensely for such lovely lass as well Shana if ye dare
wish to communicate and declare
colorful epithets with this chap who brought you here
into the world - in tandem
with another chromosomal pair
yet takes onus to maintain your
emotional, physical and spiritual welfare
no matter your feelings toward me at - omg -
your then sixteenth year.
Post (born this way) poker face book ended hybridized literary narrative:
Our halcyon outlandish wedding vow:
wills in consonant with birthing
one after another bloody nightmare
page turning suspense
filled vaulted sepulchral air
ushering the veiled spouse to be
while afar off trumpets did blare
(arranged by the well known
matchmaker Harriet Kuritsky)
creating the ambiance analogous
to renaissance faire
yet contrasted in that this bachelor
and other men related to me
segregated with females and males
at set distance away i.e. not physically near
dictated by mandates of the Hebrew coda
stemming from Moses biological tree,
which separate quarters ample enough to spare
until the proper toll of the bell would peal
accompanied by unified yippee.
After Rabbi Boyce officiated for Matthew Harris
and Abby Robin, the crowded house exalt with cheers
of L’Chaim with chutzpah oompah sizzling and hot
klezmer musicians played schmaltz
which accompanied the hoopla as couples did waltz.
All the while family, friends and relatives
blessed the new groom and bride,
although highly orthodox,
the men removed respective skullcap
more commonly known as
yarmulke some plain others dyed
women and children broke out
in traditional dance and song while others clapped
exemplifying Yahweh to deliver mazal tov,
and shalom as spiritual guide
to the pronounced
newly minted husband and wife,
who pledged their troth in a snap.
Toward conclusion of this typical
(fake) Jewish wedding,
a full goblet of kosher red wine
got tossed in the air
this (in conjunction with crush
of emptied wine glass
sacred apex rite of
passage communicated sign
and marshaled the crowd
to begin local Jerusalem (artichoke foray)
exodus symbolic and clear.
as the newlyweds blissfully
and radiantly strolled arm in arm
and exited the Synagogue, the
euphoric and excited crowd
tossed handfuls of
Uncle Ben’s anka verted rice
(with red-purple hue, resultant
fermentation with mould Monascus purpureus
grown from Norwegian bachelor farmers
on nearby organic whole foods farm,
a chauffeur waited to shuttle them
to their honeymoon location
boyhood bridegroom's bedroom
passersby waved and bowed e'en
became hypnotized courtesy swiveling tuchus
voluptuous grown since first grade school
girlfriend oozing, issuing, exuding radiant maternal erotic charm.
