Between Valentine

Between the hard drinkers
Of my father’s generation
The sex-addled thinkers
And my daughter’s cohort
Of sex-addled drinkers
And careful thinkers
You don’t have to imagine
What was going on then
A few witnesses remain
But what if each generation
Was like a species of birds
Or a species of bears
Becoming extinct
Only to return
In the fall
