Dear Minnie Mouse,
Please forgive me for stealing you away,
inside your friend's bedroom, where we made out
like bandits on her bed, while the party
out in the living room was a soirée
to remember with guests in Halloween
costumes. I will never forget the cloud
of happiness I rode back home. Hardly
a day goes by since that one fateful night
thirty-two years ago, (like a low beam
the light travels below the fog of time),
I don't look in the crystal ball to see
why it is I broke off our chance to date
or go steady. I told your friend a lame
excuse, and said some things I regret, pity.
Yours sincerely,
Mohandas K. Gandhi
