Everything I know about love and explosives,
I learned from the movies.

This proclamation of adoration
Comes to you filled with anthrax.

This Valentine will self-destruct.

So I guess I'd better talk fast.

You fell in love with a Unabomber.
And this is my manifesto.

My magnum opus.

My War and Peace.

The one to shake the ages,
The foundations.

This is the poem that will burn Hallmark down.

That will make the world see
That all chocolates are apologies,
And I have nothing to be sorry for.

These nougats are poisoned.

If you're a fast reader,
Then toss this note aside.

Take the Amtrak to New York,
And we'll run train on that city.

Let's tear it up.
Let's burn it down.

Let's laugh maniacally together.
V-day's not for another month, and already I'm burning over it. This is kind of a continuation in spirit to a piece of mine named Sapper, only with a more Hollywood twist this time. It's inspired somewhat by two favorite movies of mine, Fight Club and V for Vendetta, especially the former's romantic if rather cheesy ending. It's a love-letter of sorts, written from the perspective of some long-winded lunatic with a grudge against capitalism. Enjoy (please and thank you)
