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.
