Nobody's Valentine

The nobody in the next chair
(there are only two chairs)
I often address in a formal manner
though he’s a very casual dresser
usually wearing nothing at all
no skin or bones or breath
one naturally thinks of death
but nobody doesn’t think like that
he thinks of life and the life after that
he thinks if their word for Granada
was our word pomegranate
they would never have named
that city Pomegranate
but somehow Granada works
