prayer-wishes in the night
sound systems swoon
billions of valentines
millions of broken chocolate hearts
women in bikinis or less
selling cars
headshops hawking leather
billboards manufacturing fear
perfume companies unveiling
naked fantasies
teenagers on beachblankets
in the rain
why so many economic mousetraps
& holy-religious guillotines?
‘cause coming together of the egg
with the sperm
is not trivial.
