I bought some string cheese today that expires
on your birthday and thought to write you.

I was going to say that I cannot understand why
your parka has not been bought from the Salvation Army yet

(it was a very good parka—it kept you warm
that winter we did not have a car), but all I can think to say

is that I cannot seem to find a way
to say you are gone.
