VALENT
My security detail welcomes me
Sound of aircon and a country heartbreak
On the radio my heart's as low
As only a woman knows
They wish me Happy Valentine
And ask about you
Your voice has become a memory
Not your phone voice but your real voice
As if I'm forgetting what you meant
Your voice dies
I want to charge the phone
When I do we lose reception
Any desire here upsets the equilibrium
Its better to want nothing
The red bus on the red road
Has painted in blue on the back
GOD BLESS DA PAYCENT
Blues sings on the radio
Take me to hills
Where the airs fresher there
And we'll do nothing but beer and stare
And I stare at the Messenger
Because I want you to say
I know you done me wrong
But you done me some good to
*VALENT - is defined in psychology as the degree to which someone is attracted to another or not

Brother, it sounds like you're in some kinda exile with this crazy little thing called love. :)
I'm digging this style you're delving into here. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally into your signature concise philosophical cryptic mindfuck pieces, but these self-talk bad boy narratives pack a punch with brilliant use of description and damn fine poetics, particularly stanzas 2-3-6.
I'm totally feeling the degrees of unbalance on the scales of valent. What's the attraction to love anyway?

Hey Case - grateful for the support and the add - you know how it is - sometimes it becomes pre-eminently clear to me how little I know and how much I still need - as for love - like u I've always got a dollar for that ride

Well big fish, I'm feeling this one today.
I had to Google up on 'valent' - it's not a term I had heard before, but I can see how this would make an interesting poem, and you certainly do it justice. The last four lines are where the whole poem hangs for me. These damn lessons showing up again. They have a horrible habit of doing that from time to time. Excellent writing.

This one made the heart ache.
Flawless detail and expression. Words which saturate and vibrate every fiber.

blues, heartbreak,
& how to sort what a man gives:
things a woman knows;
a bus trip worth the fare...
