Who’s your favorite couple? Cheech and Chong? Monroe and DiMaggio? Leonardo and Mystery? Beyonce and Jay-Z? Jack and Jill? Peanut Butter and Jam? Spider-Man and The Internet? Wait, let me guess… Romeo and Juliet.  So you’re the romantic type. You like the idea of a man and woman or a boy and girl together like a number from those words. Well, check this out… Romeo and Juliet, right? They are star-crossed lovers, that means they were meant to be, right? True dat… but this kat Shakespeare wanted to give us poetry. Poetry straight from the tree; that’s what star-crossed lovers is about. Check this out… Verona, where is this place and where did it come from? It must have taken a million years filled with Shakespeares from all walks of life to create such a violet place. (Violet is one of my favorite colors, by the way.) Two households, both alike in dignity? That’s messed; that’s like violet and purple or something. This was before the metaphor of different races and rainbows. I mean they even had an ancient grudge. That means they have ghosts as peacemakers. We have fatal loins, the lovers’ originators who are basically perfect soul mate machines; these guys were probably best friends and girlfriends who invented the idea of swapping. (Shall I have salt or pepper? Maybe one day we’ll have salt and pepper? That means war.) So we got these two houses and the biggest party of the year. And we have friends who sneak each other in. And lightning strikes on a dime. We get accidents and misses and some holy guy talking to plants. It’s all too much paperwork for any prince let alone a writer. Now then take into account the whole entire timeline and sequence of events that must have happened in order for the strife, what we have here is the story of a miracle. Now it just doesn’t matter if the households kept fighting afterwards; what matters is what the f happened? I mean shouldn’t they feel a little dizzy? the world has been spinning for as long as all their swords put together and longer… So now you are reading this and I wrote it… We’re not exactly Romeo and Juliet but we all dream under the same stars. And so when your love life returns like a dragon, remember it took a lot of work from up above so, take it easy. Cause not all the tragedies in the world could make them stops hating. Just imagine all the love, in all the colors, in the whole timeline, on a sequence of events with all the lighting Babe Ruth could strike? That’s a lot of love. That’s alot of star crossed loving, more than poetry is what that is.
