Scrabble?


In the past,
I would have done anything
to avoid your challenge
aware of the hours
you spend harvesting the dictionary,
your fierce, forensic mind,
and the fact, My Aunt,
that you play to win.

But as I look for your face,
through my shock at the bloating
I am aware that I need to hear
your victory chuckle.
I want you to struggle,
with your impossible position, then
fashion a win
from a Q and W.
