Perfect Valentine

Perfect perfect
I hear my neighbor cry
To his wife
 
In the early morning
Off to work their wheels
Kiss softly down the alley
 
I feel at five
Watching through the fence
The school kids' recess
 
I did and didn’t
Want to join them
Something always held me back

This perfect hush
Humming in the school yard
When they had all gone in
