valentine for non-valentine

you are a blue scarf left
in the backseat of my car
all cashmere, made in china
non-chlorine bleach when needed
(do not iron) i won’t, since you’ve
left i’ve kept quite clean, i don’t
smoke in the car anymore, i don’t
leave junk mail on the floor, remember
how much you hated that? i do, i do
one thousand times over, i write it
with my tires when i drive, listening to
sad songs ‘cause i am sadsongs, your
ghost in my passenger seat tells me i’m
pathetic when i take you on tours of
the streets we fell in love, anyway, i hope
this day is your day, and i just wanted you
to know, i wear your scarf sometimes and
still get cold.
