stupid love

stupid love
dumb love
love that goes
"hyuk!"

love that drives
on the wrong side
of sober

and won't pull over for the cops

idiot love
the kind that never stops
no matter how clear
the signs blare out

"WRONG WAY"

that love
just keeps
breathing in and out
by mouth

and grins right through
without a doubt
despite the facts:
that show
and say
that it already

did
not
pan

out.

But love drives on,
this fool love,
heedless
of flashing lights in rear-view mirrors
love's shades see only peaches
through lenses of rose

damn dumb luck love!
well,
away she goes
