Original Valentine

First we have to
understand the lies
a great many of them
mastered and their
various small town
origins going back
and then today how
everyone’s a show-off
as my mother would say
but why does she speak
in the poem at this
particular juncture
say to yourself rather
my I is the preliminary
work of some great
artist unspeakably
greater than I.
