You caught me
Outside of class
(Modern Conflicts)
Just now
Where I could tell you
I had written that
Poem from yesterday
I promised
“I’ve got to write a
poem about this now.”
I had said.
And you jabbed
About whether or not
It was free verse
You watched as I
Formatted and
Printed it for you
There was a discrepancy
I didn’t know I had
Spelled
Your name wrong
An “S”, not a “Z”
I thought I knew
What I was doing
But you
Knew
Better
And became
Even
Less
Grey
I was only
Slightly late
To International
Relations
But you had my
Earnest thanks
I ended up
Amending the title
Elisabeth
Not
Elizabeth
I learned a little
More about you
Like that you like
Lavender incense
And your name is spelled
With an “S”
Not a “Z”
