A beautiful sarcasm-lined poetic response to a Dom Post opinion piece about "how marriage is all about being able to do the sexing and get the babies in the 'proper way'," which poet Rebecca found infuriatingly ridiculous. i'm going to write angry letters about marriage equality because men and women are 'meant' to marry for children, not for themselves; for the need to declare their mutual fertility, not their desire each to be the soil from which the other's grass can grow; for their properties as test-tube and beaker, not the jubilant flash as your chemicals light mine like a spark from the sun as it discovers love.
