the love machine

i used to save things.
sentimental things.
cards and gifts.
photos signed with a kiss.
small things seemed large
at the time.
but then i bought this crushing
machine that i keep
in the yard.
it burns things too.
it has a button, called the
insincerity button.
it's red. one push of the button
and all that junk
given to you in the guise
of love is gone.
come valentine's day
it's a busy little machine.
