Proposition

Let’s make the most of today
           I know it’s raining and that
the grey sky will probably not lift
           but let’s do something grand
something that’s so small
           and yet so important it might
change the course of history
           I mean our history which has no need
for a military marching band
           nor for any verbose political postures
something more like the human touch
           away from the public spotlight
something intimate and tender but
           that will further the course of humanity
let’s tie the knot that only lovers know
           tighter than ever and elegantly
in defiance of the dull monotone of a day
           we should not allow to go to waste
