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.
