write me a letter

write me a letter
like in
the old days.
with pen and paper.
sit down
with a lamp
at the desk,
crack open the window
and think
about what you
want to say.
crumble it up
and start again
if need be.
start with dear
followed by
my name. say
everything you
need to say, and
leave out words
like however, or
but, or we're not
on the same
page. don't say
i wish you luck,
or i'll never forget
you. i don't
want that kind
of letter. don't
send it if it is.
