In Today's Mail

 

There is a sealed letter of great importance.

Ink to pen, stamp licked –

Addressed to current occupant,

Such distance it has traveled.

A person having perfect sight

could never see to the end of such distance.

Jostled about in a mail carrier’s pouch –

Worn shoes on tired feet,

Thoughts of lunch creeping in,

The mail must get through.

Delivered and

finally read by current occupant,

Unfortunate –

The sale ended yesterday.
