A Letter to the Letters

The uppercase letter “U” looks very smug to me, especially when it is emphasized as “Ü”. “F” is how the letter “I” looked when it dodged to the left to avoid a bullet and its hair flew back. “I” dragging its tail looks like “L”. “B” happened when “1” and “3” became more serious about their relationship. I’m afraid to know what war “i” came from to have had its head severed from its body. Why is it that capital “Y” is more a question than a letter or a sound? How come emotions are combined into sounds that then combine into words? The letters of the English alphabet are strange shapes to represent my emotions, but I know no other languages well enough to escape from them. I am forced to express myself with the same language that oppresses me.
