Civilized Valentine

To mark the prepuce

as belonging to the god

to tattoo a number

on your thigh so you

have to be stripped naked

to read it after centuries

to have still not grasped

we can’t let a small

group of people control

all the wealth and still

call it civilized or equal

that dream apparently

sunstruck on its way

somewhere downriver.
