and touching
green crowns,

Valentine's Day
My friends have always hated Valentine's Day.
They ridiculed the pimply-faced boys
Whose hormone-infused offerings
Smell of Axe cologne and sweaty palms.
Greater the mocking of pubescent princesses
Who prance and twirl and collect tokens
From admirers like shells on a...

Sour wine
And a shopping list
Of grievances
America wake up
It´s me and I...
