Dating Games

 

1.
All's from a dating diversion---
Each's has been the chimera
Of an absolute, a correctness,
Of furthest personal accounts
From one's picking, starting at
A fellowship of boys and girls;

There's been that conviction,
That turgidity of observance:
Everyone's from his/her heart
That has neither organ o' sight
Nor caresses, barely a scratch
At the valuables by asteroids.

2.
Small-mindedly, quasi-blindly,
As you desire, you bounce in---
Get understood in the limelight,
Even accumulate photographs.
To be noticed as a wedded pair
On the watch for the wheel of
Fortune---regularly it's said, a
Good-looking wedding cannot
Guarantee bliss eternal. Dating
Acrobatics! All is from, all thus
Come! Winners could be losers.
