I did not miss this Valentine's
But other purposes and needs
Exceeded (as the flood exceeds
The river's course, and breaks the lines
By which mankind harshly defines
The channel, pushing past the reeds
Into the plain, and richly feeds
The pastureland beyond) the signs
By which I usually proceed,
And so I found myself not writing
In this space, although that day
Often is a time to read
Something novel or exciting
In a poetical way.
