Impression
Dear William,
A paperclip-bookmark left
in a book too long unread
embossed itself two pages deep.
It is your poem that
centers this impression.
Sincerely,
Bryan Grimes
Dear Bryan,
Now I open up my book
and pray my bookmark
had done fine.
Anyone perusing there
will find that little loop of wire
gouging some impressive line.
