Every Thing's Valentine

Every thing is in the way
of every other thing
every person in the way
of every other person
and just as we move
one thing or one person
out of the way
other things appear
other people
who are only their disguises
their distractions
because if there’s one
thing we’ve learned
it’s always the same one thing
not several different things
haven’t we come that far
about what’s ill with
us human leavings
too frightened to love
one another but not
too weary to kill?
