eight valentine roses in poetry

roses are red
violets spring from divinity
I wonder if I’m single
because I refuse to participate in performative masculinity

roses are red
violets are blue
except that they’re purple
verse can lie to you

roses are roses
violets are violet
English is weird
cut immigrants slack when they’re tryin’ it

roses are red
violets are red
everything looks red
if you’re the Terminator

roses are red
and also giganto
and also have arms
all thanks to Monsanto

roses are red
and covered with thorns
you’re single on Valentine
download some porn

roses are red
capitalism’s relentless
they put this in February
when flowers are most expensive

roses are red
violets are blue
meta-humour like this
is annoying to me too
