i wouldn't thank you for a valentine

• "singing Telegrams, or pints of Chanel Five, or sweets"
• "I'd rather something thermal"
• "satin hearts arrive with sticky sickly saccharine"
• poem leads with "I"
• clipped speech and omitted words, "Take more" instead of "It would take more"
• poem ends with "I'd melt"
• satirical tone
