Deliberate Mistakes

She always spells my name wrong.

Deliberately? Probably.

Oh! she has done so all along.

Innocuously, possessively.


She calls me by a different name

Adds a pointless stammer

It is as if she is playing a game

of deliberate faulty grammar


I smile at my name, spelt wrong

laugh at the stammers and slips

to the world of wrong names I belong, 

as long as it touches her lips.
