Valentine 2

Almost-spring in the subtropical zone
President’s Day, Ash Wednesday,
International Polar Bear Day.

Expectations diminish rapidly.
The quick and the dead change places.
Each Airbnb has the “wow” factor.

Cell service is non-existent
on well-paved, rarely used
country highways.

That card was lost in the mail, or
you forgot to sign it. Actually
you never sent it.
