Dizzy Valentine

The proof of the poem
is that you want to be that poet
you want to have said that
having thought it already
but without taking the time
to notice every curlicue
or substantive correction
of direction we’re talking
getting turned around
a dizziness and loss of balance
momentary but profound
as in dancing or moving
at a great speed or at
a great height off the ground
