I need to write
with a pen that erases
and it's not because I'm inconsistent.
I always think three sentences ahead
and what comes out is a jumble
of thoughts and ideas and numbers
that wouldn't make sense to you
or me, give or take three days.
I like writing you letters
but sometimes I have nothing important to say.
The "I love yous" get lost
because I need to follow it up with "I miss you"
and "I hope for the world for you"
and what ends up being written is
"I and you".
What more needs to be said, really?
