i want to be in love with a captain's daughter
can this be arranged?
how would you go about this without causing
too much hassle?
i don't know any captains
what, ever?
no, never.
but our house is full of children this evening
and two notes are dropped from the stairs
they land with a pat on the marble tiles
and the adult conversation stops.
i pick up the first note, which reads,
"you ARR gong to be murdered. thanks."
i pick up the second;
it reads the same, but the punctuation and spelling
are correct
i run up the stairs to make sure it was my son who wrote the second one.
