Overheard Valentine

Your heart is cold and empty
my heart is full of shit
but you do like to climb on things
that get high and go faster
all my life I’ve given people lip
as if I liked getting slapped
did you know the word ‘shame’
is spoken 346 times in all of
Shakespeare’s plays and that
only the word ‘love’
has a higher occurrence
more than any other emotion
which makes perfect sense to me
those two opposites fighting it out
the sun and the moon
of our secret lives
even though I know you think
I’m nothing I still want to get
dirty-clean with you sometime
your next door neighbor silence.
