This Could Happen to You Sonnet

The Sirens are really just the songs they sing
(The cover versions are more popular though)
Single is a Coliseum where the homeless go
Sometimes it wants a home & sometimes it wants to suck foam

Single is a Coliseum where the homeless go
Don't get addicted to its humongous sequins
Or the squeals or the wheels or the ones who blow
All of those things can blind you like the Roman Sun

Love is useless if you need it to work like a gun
All your extracurricular orgasms should be oddly unfun
Otherworldly is less important than a roof against snow
Single is a Coliseum where the homeless go

Once, Christians ended as lion brunch (for belief in Love) there

Now it's just a place lion-fat tourists yawn and glare
