Valentines Day

An old noose
Dangling over murky untreated water
Is to be my Valentine
This year

A corporate sanctioned day
To punish the hapless and hopeless
Wilted red roses
Petals that stink of bleach

Tis not a sirloin steak
Dinner for two
On the menu
The special this evening is
Unrequited love
