Independent Valentine

OK let’s get on with it
if you want to know the time
look in the mirror
if you want to know the times
look at the cock
of Eros I speak
he has a cock bent like a bow
not Philoctetes his quiver
he was from another Troy
can poetry afford
to be practiced
like a 4th of July
home furnishings sale
or was it mainly from sex
America was running
from church to church
mixing it all up with
glamour and money?
