Send Giants:
An Elegy in 2012
May 8, 2012
Dear Mr. Sendak:
Please tell the lion that you care (even if you don't), and it will maybe let you come back. Speak very loudly because it's dark in there, and according to the newspapers, its mouth is shut tight. And this lion never gets sick when it eats.
Or maybe we can send giants. They can shake you out.
Or maybe we can send giants. They can shake you out.
Then the newspapers can print a correction tomorrow, like they do and nobody catches the correction because they're not looking or don't even get the paper the next day and so they keep thinking the wrong thing the reporter wrote. But I'll look for it.
Your Friend,
Erin, age 5 30
