Helium Balloon Marriages
As A Contrarian; i love nothing more
than taking an heretical position when everyone else on The Planet is
in agreement about some issue.
The Issue this week is “Why is Mrs.
Wiener sticking beside Mr. Wiener, While Mr. Wiener has
Matrimonorially Betrayed Mrs. Wiener, Again & Again?”
If i were Mrs. Wiener & was
standing before a large crowd of reporters & Heckling Rabble
Rousers, i would say this :
I can only assume, ( Mrs. Wiener would
begin ), that each of Your Marriages is very shallow, empty or hollow
like a helium balloon. The Marriage that i share with my husband; Mr.
Wiener, is like a Potato, Pumpkin or Baseball, Hard & Solid all
The way through to The Center. If any of you were to come over to an
Evening Dinner at our house, & try picking up our Marriage, It
would be too heavy for any of you to lift. It’s like a Bowling ball
bolted to The Floor. If you were to try & pry it open, you’d
only find layers & layers of more Marriage below The Surface,
Each Harder & More Fibrous than The One that Preceded it.
I can only presume from your questions
& accusations; That your understanding of what a Marriage
consists of, Infers that if I were to Open your Marriages, they would
only be an empty space beneath The Delicate Membrane that keeps only
The feeblest flies out from wriggling in your lunch sack of a
marriage & feasting on The Runny Magnolia Crap that you take for
The Substance of your Social Amalgamation.
While many of you are willing &
eager to get a divorce after The Slightest Provocation; Such as your
spouse’s languid enthusiasm for taking out The Trash or Dusting The
Book Shelves; You may have considered that The Hallowed Oaths that
you took during your marriage ceremony to have been laughable
anachronisms or flamboyant liturgical nonsense with The substance of
a bowl of watered down tapioca pudding— But some people take these
Sacraments to be some deeply Eloquent & Rudimentary Bedrock of
How & Why Societies Remain Viable for Millennium, Under The
Crushing Weight of Artistic Freedom, Youthful Fads, Recreational
Narcotics, Foreign Intervention, Scientific Atheism, Alien
Abductions, Quixotic Poltergeist Phenomena, Fundamental Pet’s
Rights, Universal Health Care, The Looming Threat of The Singularity
& Human Obsolescence brought on by Tomorrows Ubiquity of Robotics
& Virtual Reality Opulence, Along with Oxidizing Soft Drinks &
A Disappearing Ozone Layer.
If Western Civilization is Going to
Survive long enough for us to see Permanent Moon Bases & The
Colonization of Proxima Centauri; We are going to have to believe in
some of The Foundational Institutions that Our Society Rests it’s
weary Spine upon.
The Sanctity of Marriage is One of
those Vapid & Ceremonial Conventions that We Know don’t mean
Anything, But we have to Pretend that it does. Through Thick &
Thin, Health & Sickness, Richer or Poorer, Youthful Exuberance &
The Dotage of Winter’s Last Christmas with Urine Stained Presents &
Egg Nog made from 7-Up & Milk of Magnesia.
It is very Sad, & I Weep for you,
Those of you that are enduring your Helium Balloon Marriages, which
are incapable of withstanding The Palest Rubbing against The Softest
Child’s Hair, without Popping in a Violent & Expensive Divorce.
The Marriage The Mr. Wiener & I
have will be preserved into our Lives amoung The Angels, where all of
our Sins; Petty & Perilous, will be forgiven & forgotten.
Amen.
Exhilarating Applause or Catcalls
Accompanied with Bricks.
