dear Tabby,

sunk the car today (sorry) and
i know you’ll be mad (about the car
which is ditch-lodged, deep)
and i know we’ll talk about
how to cover insurance hikes
but you’ve got to hear me out.
remember that nature show we
watched on our honeymoon?
the one in that dingy motel
where we’d ended up because
the rental died and we missed check-in
at “the nice place” and on that
motel TV it was just one channel
clear, the rest all fuzz?

well, some ways roadside, i saw the owl
(from that show) which got me thinking
about that motel, and i guess
i daydreamed myself into a ditch
thinking about you.

still “deeply” in love,
Crusher
