Alphabetical Order

Collected Lyric Poems

I have been writing lyric poetry since I was a boy on a variety of provocations. I can think of no more sensible scheme of organization than sorting them by the initial letters of their titles.

Here is demonstrated the difference between mere order and coherence.

The Letter A	The Letter G	The Letter M	The Letter S
The Letter B	The Letter H	The Letter N	The Letter T
The Letter C	The Letter I	The Letter O	The Letter U
The Letter D	The Letter J	The Letter P	The Letter V
The Letter E	The Letter K	The Letter Q	The Letter W
The Letter F	The Letter L	The Letter R	The Letter Y

An Apology to X and Z

Dear X and Z,

Many a time you have brought me victory on the Scrabble Board. It is not only there where you are highly valued.

Please accept this apology for failing to entitle any poems with the precious metal of your initials.

While I still have life and vigor, there is always a possibility. Know in the meantime, you enjoy my deepest regard, respect and consideration.

Your humble servant,

David Keith Johnson
