all my poems start with I
except this one
because this one starts with we
and ends with i
lower case, dragging down the sentence with its squiggly red line of WRONG
my computer’s plaintive cry
reminding me that i should only be smashed and compacted into a perfect word like
blitzkrieg
or whisper
and it drives me crazy now that all my broken sentences and words are fixed for me
waht
slipping through the cracks of my backwards brain
made instantly into what
what
what are you trying to sya? or say?
is everything i right now so wrong
and why isn’t there auto correct for what i have done to we
torn it asunder leaving the w
behind inside “What the fuck Were you thinking”
and taking e over here
to deposit endlessly into “I think you nEEd to sEE somEonE”
and in the end i am left with all these letters jumbled into anagrams of their once pristine selves
like “ew”
and my computer asking me if i really meant to spell my longing
whi
