I will ask myself a question
And I will only ask myself.
Should I use “Oh Muse” or “O Muse?”
I don’t really know.
Perhaps I should ask the Muse:
Is it—Oh or O?
But the Muse will have no idea:
Muse is only a word.
To ask “the Muse” about “O” or “Oh”
Is utterly absurd.
The “Muse” and “O,” like a woman and her sex,
Will never be the same.
All you’ll get is laughter. When you told her that you loved her,
You mispronounced her name.
