tragedy/comedy sonnet

my introduction to your life
was tragedy.  the deaths
of all those men.
1980.  you were all so thin.

a tragedy ends in death
(or ronald reagan).  who
could have seen the comedy
coming, 30 years from then?

two men walking
down the aisle, promising
impossibilities: that life
could be happy.  a comedy ends

in marriage.  & now
everything begins.
