Institutionalized

Institutionalized

i married:
to disrupt the natural order
to keep my non-legal lover
to legalize my unnatural desire
to spite presidents
to finalize my decision
to create quietness
to give myself space
to free my libido
to live as a monk
to suck sex out of my interactions
to smile during intercourse
to stop analyzing sex
to bond tighter and longer than passion
to adopt you
to claim you
to exclude other humans from our naked cuddling
to value you more than wedding gifts
to leave room for enlightenment
to put no one above god
to transcend being a woman
to seal my promise to all animals everywhere
to revolt against tradition
to dissolve the term "marriage"
to ensure everyone's safety
