Later Valentine

Today I want to go
to some forgotten lake
but I want someone else
to drive this time
so I don’t have to
risk our lives
ogling every interesting
or beautiful thing
or person passing by
along the way
so when we get there
after plowing through
endless wastes of desert
like  worlds at the bottom
of the sea I’m not
sweating and full
of despair for humankind
but can take off
my clothes again
and enter that
water cool and clear
like it was eternity
