I used to know a girl named, Sincerely.

When she moved away,

I tried to write her a letter to

express all the things in my heart.

It was a very short letter.

It began,

Dear Sincerely,

George.

P.S. Once again, it seems, I have run out of room.

ii.

Then, at the bottom of the letter,

I added a bunch of X’s and O’s.

Telling her,

(This is what

tic-tac-toe

looks like

unbridled by the number sign.)
