Katherine Stuart #22 Tetchy

So I try to make a joke
in an email
narrowest bloody band comms
in the entire f-ing universe

so I try to make light
and the proverbial lead balloon
comes barrelling back down the inter.line
at me knocking me for six

and I can't help thinking

how can you think this of me?
in what f-ing universe do
I behave like an absolute jerk?

Ah!
it is the one in which it is written
and in the written word we trust
