The True World Valentine

The world is a test valentine
to see if you are ready
for the real one
which must come before
the true one can come
which you would not
have recognized
understood or appreciated
if it had come first
if it had not waited
and been waited for
the world is the final examination
on the last day of school
summer is already crossing the street
you look up from the questions
just long enough to see him wave
