When You Started A Poem On Valentine’s Day, But Couldn’t Find The Perfect Similes ‘Til Now

I love you

Like city officials love roundabouts

And bicycle lanes

And sidewalks with little gardens

That make them impossible to traverse.

I need you

Like white girls need artisan coffee

With little flowers made of milk

And 27 makeup brushes

To achieve that perfect “no makeup” look.

I want you

Not quite as much as I want trading cards

But pretty close,

Especially when you’re not all hormonal

And don’t talk too much.

Your boobs are nice too.
