Dear Dr. Paul E. Annaish,
Blithe spirit par excellence
In a world of encroaching
Darkness, please note
All of us are dying
To read
Your prescription
On how to stave off
The demise of what
A lot of us like
To call the light—
But please
Write your Rx legibly,
We don’t want to go blindly
Ignorant into the all-
Knowing night.
