American Valentine

Self-conscious America
sad and repressed America
if you remain in the hands
of your original owners
will soon be determined
and I don’t mean the buildings
but the ego of a woman
to be walked among
or of a man or a child
and not to act like you
never saw these people
before in your life
never spoke to them or
saw how they lived
even when it could
mean their deaths
even when it certainly
does mean their
imminent deaths.
