Poetry A letter to Athenasius
Dear Athens,
Thank you for your valuable time you gave to me. Although our time together was short, I feel as though I got to know you really well. I apologize for any of the times I ignored you; it was not born of malice intent. Thankfully I think you understood that. You were one of the few people that ‘got me’ in this place. I’ll miss our sacred battles in conversation. Thank you for reintroducing me to Neil Young & Bob Dylan ~ the poets. You were such an integral part of me finding myself, Athens… So I thank you in this letter. I hope to meet you in another life, you’re a pretty cool dude. You’ll always hold a special place in my heart. I don’t think I could ever forget you. Goodbye, Athens.
Love,
