to buy my valentine day
gifts
and cards
a few years in advance,
bulk. people come
and go so quickly
these days.
i store them in the closet
for when
that fateful
day arrives.
the most expensive day
in America for
single or married men.
the pressure
is tremendous.
it could determine
if your love interest
is going to
be amorous or cut you
off for a few weeks.
we are walking
on eggshells, perusing
the heart shaped
boxes of chocolate,
eyes glazed as we stare
into the glass cases
at Kay Jewelers
for just the right ring
or bracelet that says
exactly what you hope
it to mean, whatever that is.
will there be a pay
off, or will you be like
Moses
wandering the desert
for 40 days,
with no hope of entering
that promised land,
never getting in.
