Thank You Notes


I really am a much better person 

than I make out to be 

It’s just that it is so much work, 

this obsessing about the 

access of what is good


suppression of negatives

that are wholly unacceptable to others

(especially you and you)


it’s an unavoidable dichotomy, 

dear-only-ones-

whom-I-desire-to-impress 

and-wish-to-be-remembered-by


everyone else 

will have been fooled,

and who cares anyway


but you have been there 

my constants 

harboring an innate intelligence 

you refuse to flaunt 


my only ask is that you

hold this message close.

on rainy nights place it under

your pillow


consider it my

thank you in advance 

for all the grace 

the slack cut

the humility served
