i trust your opinion
because your handwriting shows that you think
you scrawl over everything, tiny and blue
i have to squint and strain to decipher it
but appreciate the personality it reveals
always i emulated my father’s tiny blue scrawl
much to my mother’s chagrin
what developed was a hybrid of print and
script, inimitably my own
just as yours is uniquely you
i want to fight what you say
and question your questions
but they are hard to take offense at
because i trust your writing
This is lovely. I’ve been thinking a lot about trust lately, and so this speaks to me.
