O MINE VALENTINE

We are a twine of 
lines...vines
limbs
hair
fingers
sheets
blankets
couches

streets

misgivings
mistakes
retreats
agressions

2 chairs
2 drinks
a fire
an oven
a burner

clutchings
graspings
open doors 
unopened doors
closed doors
slammed doors
cracked open...

Some small creature fleeing in confusion

Can you not see?
All the ducks inside your arm?
Did you think hotel paradise,
Came with no illusions attached?
Violins and rats
Rats and violins
Conductor in a white suite
Playing...

A single golden light 
Danced through the frame,
And spangled out of the dark house
As snow spun downward 
Into the abyss of the night.

Potatoes
drink beer after beer
slouch on couches
formulating bad breath opinions
second guessing
deriding
insinuating
opinionating
whining
baby crying
except for Trump
and variable other
con artists
most
bankrupt
or poor
yet
they know what's best
do this
and don't do that
you are...

Clinton on steroids—Fiornina 
She shreds truth like a hyena
Let's make the world right
