Waiting Valentine

While we’re waiting to die
why not try to get something done
I mean we have the afternoon
and a few days after you return
a lot of which won’t be fun
but now that death is stripped of its egotism
even the sadness of physical absence dissolves
and we can function in both worlds comfortably
and recognize the earth as a factory of the gods
safely tucked away on the outskirts
of a post-industrialist heaven
and why shouldn’t we
haven’t we worked hard enough
through science and myth
through religion and art
to face the truth of the truth
