September 25, 2006 How to Ruin Valentine’s Day
get her text message
she’ll abbreviate badly,
“whatcha want 4 vd”?
say, “chlamydia”
she won’t think it’s funny
be doped to the gills
bugles in your eyes
she won’t mind later
you never come
quivering porcelain
can’t get up to piss
skip the jewelry
broke as a bad joke
buy lingerie you like
get nervous
get drunk
forget about dinner
buy half the dozen
that says, “I love you”
“come get me at walmart, I’m drunk”,
says it better
now, on vd I think of her
not too sure
she thinks of me
