Analysis of Write To a T

Robert Joseph Mattingly 1957 (Brookline, Massachusetts)



I will let the world,
See what I look like.
As l dress up my
Poem looking in
The paper, until
Every letter is
To a T, word for
Word in all respects.
I'll comb my title,
By making sure my
Body is in top
Form daily leaving
A name for himself.
