Tonight i can't write any sad poem, let alone the saddest one. But, typing this makes me realize, how sad this font is. Oh, Eliot, why did you? It looks like it needs a warm hug despite its fear of touch. Oh, oh my, you didn't know it is scared of being touched? It never told you? How insensitive of you. It has told you all, but you refused to listen to the silences. Ah. Why at times like this i remember Dave Pelzer.

I once read a story about this boy. No, not Dave Pelzer. I don't remember his name. But i remember him. He didn't like to be touched. His dad respected it and didn't ever hug him. Instead they spread their fingers out in a fan and connected them to show their love. Slight touch was okay. And enough. The boy knew he was loved.

Um, so, you know, i couldn't find this font's fingers. Can you please tell it that it is loved?

But. But this font is too sad. It will not believe you. Not now. Not later. Not ever. Knowing this makes me sad. But i can't write it out. I am not Pablo Neruda. Tonight i just can't write any poem, let alone a sad one, let alone the saddest one.

Let this font speak it all.
