This is just to say--a relationship described for Mid-B and Lis
This is just to sayI have used all the
Fancy towels
That you were probably
Saving for guest
Forgive me
They were so soft
And comforting
This is just to say
That I drank
All the gin that was
In the Freezer
Forgive me
Since you were probably
Saving it for
Happier times
This is just to say
I have eaten all the
Words that were in
The dictionary
That you were probably
Going to use in a poem
Forgive me
They were so
Taught and useful
This is just to say
I have waited all night long
For you to answer
My calls
Forgive my loss of tears
It was so pointless
And empty
This is just to say
I have sold the
William Carlos Williams
Manuscript
You were probably saving
For future investment
Forgive me
It was so lucrative
And sweet
This is just to say
I have lost all motivation
Forgive me
Oh fuck it.
This is just to say
You will be hearing
From my lawyer in
The morning
Forgive me,
But she was so
Persuasive
And kind. ¶ 11:12 AM
