SARAI ARGUELLES

Don’t ask me how,
but I heard
that you got married.
I can only make guesses
as to why you didn’t tell me.
Don’t get me wrong.
I think I have some
pretty good guesses.
But those are mine
just like your reasons are yours
and we don’t have to
explain them to each other.
Similarly, I can only make guesses
as to why you did it in the first place.
I'd hope it was done out of love
for yourself, your better, and your worse.
However, out of convenience
does not go unjustified.
I can only imagine the freedom
you've given yourself
by aiming to rewrite history
in your first and second
and not just the last name.
Congratulations, either way.
