Valentine's Day... and we arraign the wife beaters from the weekend past.
But today they come in together, arm-in-arm.
Even the Judicial system isn't free from the hypocrisy of the damned holiday.
They beat each other. Kicking, shoving, slapping; 5 and 6 times before this one... that their records even show. More than likely, its 3 times a week.
On Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and even Monday, they hated each other... enough to swing, enough to throw dishes... in front of the children... and the foster children... and their children from other daddies... enough even to call the cops. To scream, and yell, and threaten.
And today they file in... bruises hidden behind bad make-up, misplaced scarves... band-aids cover skin broken by knuckles... arm-in-fucking-arm, because today their in love. Today its Valentine's Day, the day that past transgressions against love or forgiven in favour of discount shop cards, over-priced chocolates, or maybe -- just maybe -- a rose from the guy with a van on the Boulevard.
Today their hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Or am I wrong?
Is today truly about forgiving the year because somebody shelled out the big bucks on Russell Stovers?
I don't know.
Answer that one after I hit you on the head with a frying pan.
