On this Sunday

To: those who still can’t see the forest for the trees

He didn’t hit me
on the…third day-

He didn’t!

So maybe!

So maybe
I can keep Him,
for if he didn’t
hit me on the
third day-

He didn’t punch
me on the fifth day…

…all I can say…
is that if I can say,
“I didn’t
lose an eye
on the fourth day…”

…then evidently
He wants me.

He wants me
on this Sunday.
