Aphrodite smiles serenely St. Valentine can kiss my butt if only he'd had a head to do so Cupid's arrows won't pierce this old heart of mine the penetration of it all breaking normative frames deconstructing tradition superstition to sell more flowers, and tacky greeting cards no thanks I'd rather choke — gag reflex unavailable than follow the trail of broken hearts Aphrodite smiles serenely as I am walking the path of resistance, feeding true love instead of that cheapend concept of Romance, badly applied

Don't want to rain on your parade.
(Or maybe I do)

I wrote a rather...different poem for Valentine's Day (still a hoax imo)
