When Valentine

When everyone walked everywhere
Except for those who were carried
In arms or by human wheels
 
Or were married to chariots
Or dragged along after them
When thieves were crucified
 
Either to the right or wrong
When women were stoned for adultery
As if they had done it alone
 
When the virgins of Delphi
Still sang in riddles
The thoughts of the gods
 
When time was still harnessed
To the wagons of fate
And the sun went down
