UV
There's a vacancy on my list of disliked letters
next to U, which in my mind - is vulgar
oozing arrogance
and sneering contempt
through association and irrational judgement
utility, ubiquity - that glyphic upstart, my tongue hesitates
to utter.
But a new idea germinated
vying for verbal acceptance
showing that U has feminine curve
while masculine V
occupying that vacant, adjacent vantage
is an anglar U
Today, of my own volition
I veneer that odious character
by painting a pretty vignette
acceptable to my turbulent reason
Today I serve as linguistic vicar
to reconcile my displeasure
marry U with V
a vow of mystical union - verbal light.
