welcome, valentine, to the personal ads

welcome, valentine, to the personal ads. I think you'll sleep
in those human flea market columns tonight,
but I envy you still.

the men in the bar drink while they sing, I think that's fine.
and quiet girls sit home writing love letters
to boys they haven't met.

that's a table of empty coronas and a shelf of journals
if you're keeping score. here I do my best
to hedge my bets.
