Everything's Valentine

O mama throw me
from this plane of consciousness
everything asks
some more unconscious
than others of a sense
of the inflection as coarse
in the speech of things
we go in all liquid impulse
but when we’re cooked
a breeze smooths our petals
or leaves ruffle our breath
mostly we want to know
how there’s so little tenderness
after so much time
