Critical Valentine

A showoffiness somehow
unsuccessfully achieved
by a too-obviousness
not the scornful nihilism of say
Beckett’s failed Christianism (good)

great wrong-track mocker
(not so) excuse the tangent/
tantrum as if you were suddenly
to go deaf while everything
you say leaps forward

out of that absolute silence
the last wild animals
of our senses about
to devour us
again.
