You can't divorce a good joke

Bluntly, someone said
they could never imagine
my being married.
This stung.
I laughed.
I am more
a comic
than
a romantic.
Pain is preferably felt
without witness;
better yet,
with punchlines.
Those precious people
who cry amongst us are more
genuine,
pitiable,
deserving of yet more
labors of love.
We mustn't blame ourselves
for this; we are
pathetic souls,
and I am
fine with it.
After all, my spouse
is already
my sense of humor.
