Poet's Valentine

I am a poet yes but
are you really any good
that is not a question
that belongs in a poem
 
or in poetry for that matter
intellectualism has corrupted
the heart to betray
its greatest treasures
 
and violence is just down the street
the couple next door
aspire to great opera
with the right composure
 
while I tally the wings
we’ll need to rally
our ascent
