Bring *em on

Sometimes I feel really dense.  

A friend mentions she will attend

A Civilized party.

I wonder first what makes a party

Uncivilized,

Then discover the celebration

Is for a civil union.

I am told there are no good verbs or adjectives

To go with civil unions.

They will have to be created

From scratch.

Not a bad idea

At all.

Bring *em on,

I say,

Bring *em on.

Let the redefinitions continue.

Let the possibilities for honest deep

Lifelong commitment

Expand.

Let civility be extended

To the ends

Of the earth.

Bring *em on.
