my editor

my editor and former
lover
in ohio
writes to me and says
why can't you get that apostrophe
right?
time after time
I keep telling you how it
works, and yet
you forget.
she mentions spelling
too, and
the constant tag line
that I always seem to leave
on the end of a poem
trying to make sure
everyone gets it.
leave that line off she
screams,
using all caps in her text.
would it be too hard to actually
reread what you write,
she says.
I miss her.
I think she misses me.
