Note For My Wife
Honey, I was here.
You were not.
Now you are here.
But I am gone.
Alas and alack
We have fallen prey
To those omnipotent gods:
Space and Time.
But rest assured that someday
The more powerful god of Chance
Will bring us together
At which time I will
Take you in my arms
Gently part your legs
And spend my love in you,
Your husband.
