One Offs Happen

Would you not, perhaps, prefer
Our partnership as unique?
You’re scanning the world for signs

You often pretend to find,
But you don’t want to find them,
Not real other languages,

Not real gods who talk to you,
Aliens with messages,
Portents that really portend.

You might accept that we’re yours
And you’re ours, one partnership
Of lives with symbols, the one.
