Possible Valentine

Because we cannot explain ourselves
even to our own dubious satisfaction
we can see we don’t nearly possess
the kind of equilibrium necessary
for our own creation let alone
what it will take to rescue us
from ourselves or what it has taken
so far even theoretically speaking
because there’s something in us
heading toward extinction
that makes life an endless
preparation for actual living
because we know we are nothing
more or less valuable but what
some clearer intelligence
wants to accomplish with
our possible participation
the willingness to love it back
