I used to know a girl named,

Sincerely.

***

When she moved away,

I was sad,

so, I tried to write her a

letter

to express all the things

that were in my heart.

***

It was a very short letter.

***

It began,

“Dear Sincerely,

George.

***

P.S. It seems, once again,

I have run out of room

before

I could say all that I want

to say”

ii.

Then, at the bottom of the letter,

I added a bunch of X’s and O’s.

adding,

“This is what tic-tac-toe

looks like unbridled

by the number sign.”
