Larry I read the article.
Frankly it appalled.
It made me regret things
about which I’d been
formerly quite pleased.
It didn’t change my mind
but now as I travel back to
my days of love and the giddy
feelings that were provoked
I understand the
need for retribution.
It felt like torture at
the time but looking back
it was bliss. We kissed
in cabs and once someone
made to pummel my forehead
with her high heel shoe
for some now unrecalled slight.
Probably all of my
regrets are a wish
to be forgiven. What
the dreams of last minute
packing and no room for
the books are I’m not sure.
In short Larry, thank you
for bringing this to my
attention. I am your
friend and although not
your most trusted
nor your oldest one,
I am happy for
your affections.
