Spaghetti Valentine

A full bowl of spaghetti
and sitting down to eat it
I find ‘La Dolce Vita’ on cable
just at the scene where a pretty blonde
laughingly shouts out, “Should
we go now and have some spaghetti?”
to a parade of early morning partiers
was that a mock-serious reference
I’ve gone and taken literally
maybe he was afraid of himself
Marcello wonders about the suicide
who killed his two children
my wick waxes as my wax wanes
bravo for the spaghetti
I forgot how it ends
whatever face I can’t
come back to at least
twice and try to save
is gone for good or
the last rendition.
