The Shortest Engagement



I learned on Facebook that I was
engaged to my Permanent Partner
who’d rather call me his wife

having become tired of being
asked the name of his partner.

Within ten minutes, the calls began,
the well wishers, all before I even
knew I was engaged to be married
in a ceremony somehow related to
bicycles and wheels instead of rings.

Two hours later, I was unengaged
(which sounded a bit better than
unfriended); we returned to our
quiet life as Permanent Partners
knowing the excitement which lay
in wait when it really happens.
