A screen shot of my poem online with text here: STEPPING OUT OF THE SHOE BOX written by: Sue McBean Dear John, We met over T.S. Eliot. I’ll keep that. I have the best of you in a memory shoebox. The worst I set down here. You lost the equivalent of a person in weight, so I could get close enough to conceive our child, but missed the birth, skipped first Christmas, and gave wife and mistress identical presents, telling us the same story: It’s over, she won’t want the child. I won’t take the blame for not being good enough. The anger is yours. Farewell. Sue P.S. I’m keeping the granite mortar and pestle, baby photos, and vintage champagne.
