For My Wife (a Poem, Lost and Found)

(Transcript follows the handwritten poem – P.S. does this count as a pencast??)

My Reader

I know a girl – /fiction makes her feel / but reality makes her cry / sometimes she can’t tell / the difference.

but that’s okay – / I’m that way too.

She binges on biography / then purges on prose / nourishment in the form / of footnotes

She gives life to the / people on the page / and they become kindred / spirits

so none will be / lonely / again.
