A Letter to Thomas King

Damn it, Tom, why are you so elusive?
You've bailed for the second time,
Leaving me with a PHD student.
I'm sorry, Mauricio,
But a tragedy a week is not "light reading".
There are twelve weeks, Mauricio, twelve weeks.
One day, Thomas, you will teach me a class.
One day.
Best wishes,
Hilary
P.s. Seventy-five dollars for an anthology of tragedies, Mauricio?!
As if.
