These Bits And Bits.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i have forgiven my eyes.
and my fingers too. They

seem to have a grudge
against each other. And

i am the one at this loss.
a letter is missing. But

you, yes you, are an intelligent
reader. I forget the word again.

in a space, what is missing,
fits, and it is you, that supplies

it. There is an emptiness that
you can fill. It completes the pattern

and i make it and you are there
to make a whole. These bits and bits.
