Wishing sleep away February 14

Measuring dreams against the time I get
to breathe deep and look at myself.
Fall on a flat bed
break like a silly excuse, like a silly excuse.
Mice scrambling the distance for grain
showing-off like hungry pet dogs.
Is sex all that men want?
Each handshake a thermometer
dettol spilt all over the bedsheet,
fire spent just trying to burn a wet victory flag.
