oh
with that of
his
perpetual teasing
there could be no sweeter folly
no testament to a truer mirth
just grim recriminations
of an afterthought overly eroded
by an abysmal isolation of spirit
that for which he could not have left me
unknowingly
had he not made it his first priority
to introduce himself
to this creature of words in beauty composed
there would be no coupling of this amazing us
I speak of today
his assessment early on of me
to my way of thinking
a frank overstatement of female
parts
starting with my mind
