valentine poppies

i'm sorry, did your moment pass you by?
do your catch onto life's coat tails, and swirl uncontrollably?

i'm sorry that your baby caught your tongue, oh cat that she is.  perhaps she had need of it, did it need sharpening?

you never did see it coming, that love jive thing.  instead you intended to steal hearts, and wear poppies on valentines.  you wore your hair slicked back, and your ears fine tuned, as a fork.

do you hear my intonation?

my feckless hero, my wanton lover, perhaps the misery of my company.

after all, we all know what kind of company love keeps....
