To whom it concerns,
I have been living a dream.

I came to the conclusion that evening
When nothing of consequence was said
And also, that evening
When nothing of any real consequence was said.

As such I am changing my mind
And have decided to take it
Somewhere less sarcastic
And although it has been my
Pleasure to know you from this point of view,
I cannot face these day dreams any more, of gas lamps
And quarts of love.

Yours affectionately
(because I’m letting go,
But am terrible at falling,)

Edward Sibley
