Love, Reg


p.s. I'm kidding--I know what Sayuri meant, and I'll write an apostrophe later

10:21 am... it's later... thus I give you my apostrophe:

Oh Apostrophe! Do cease your crying,

I cannot bear your inky stare.

Please, oh Apostrophe, do not doubt my trying.

For I have given you what effort’s fair

And I have placed my words with utmost care.

Apostrophe, my apostrophe, I wanted nothing more—nothing less—

Than you, haloed in poetic glory,

Yet, Apostrophe, I must keep repeating

My grave and sincerest apology,

My excuse the  story of  lovers folly:

For my best words were wasted on hearts still beating.

Your butterfly,

Reg
