Objection Your Honor Poem by James McLain

I said I do
to the
Pastor

Year latter in
church
congregation
at his bequest
has us do so
again no
object

Hammar Hammer
seven years
latter

Do you
want your
formal name
back

Objection I
do so
cry

This is a lie
or twice
we lied
before

Your not
the pastor
that day
whom married
us so
in front of
God

We wed
how may you
tear our family
apart
when such
poceeding
is not
mutual

Still in a daze
from that
not with
that drama
costly
on my
soul

Seven years
gone
in seven
minutes
