Hello!
A random thought – about her
I think of you randomly. Whenever I write a poem, for instance.
I think of you how you would gently mail me, twisting my monkey ears over faulty grammar. Or a misplaced period. How you would then praise a certain turn of phrase. Listening to Rafi last night, I thought of our casual banter.
