Thoughts for Today

I had a poem I wrote today. I pressed the wrong
key on my computer and deleted the whole thing.
It was damned good poetry too. Unfortunately,
my foggy, old-age memory could not reconstitute

the piece word for word. What I can recall was
the first line—Thinking about you today, and what
you might be thinking, what you may have to say?
I spoke of revelations and situations profound and

profane. Then came the unfortunate delete key
stroke followed by ensuing brain drain. Oh, ’tis a
mighty shame. Could have been an eloquent verse
which may have brought me some litterary acclaim.

I made reference to our sharing slices of life’s
pie, your preference being blueberry, and apple
being mine. I mentioned forming a more perfect
union, you and I. And there was so much more

which escapes me in my current pissed-off state,
stuff about which I had hoped you could relate.
But then, I was wondering about you not so much
me today. What might you be thinking, what pro-

found or profane you may have to say? Who can say,
today possibly could have been monumental in the
history of you and me. Let me know…Sincerely, Me.
