All Valentines Are Crazy
by Edward Michael Supranowicz
Love tortures itself seeking salvation as it does the laundry, seeking constancy as it changes addresses and clothes. Love tortures itself by hiding its definition in the middle of the Oxford English Dictionary, tortures itself by standing in line at the bank. Love tortures itself by having fast food on Friday, but looking at ads for fancy restaurants on Saturday. Love tortures itself, but it does have a pleasant smile, and even its cheap perfume does not really smell that bad.
