T

My father's 
signature
always included 
a star
on the end
of Greene;
In the middle,
for my mother,
a single 
capital 
"T".

    The title caught me for obvious reasons. This was interesting, reflective and very cleanly presented. I sort of imagine you signing your name to something, hunched over a kitchen table and sorting through bills while having this flashback memory.

    That's love, giving someone a place in the stars, and emphasis in the alphabet. I wouldn't necessarily say it's to the point, but that's the beauty, much like devotion, it goes on. Scholar
