Epitaph

I scratch tiny letters
in the exercise book of the world
You’ll need a magnifying glass to read them…
and yes I know it is vanity,
but also so you can remember me
If you come across my words, say,
when you look up and cloud formations spelling
“worship” with a double “P”, you will sweetly smile
turn to your new friend and say:
“He was a hopeless speller.”
