but not today

 


It stands silent,

an empty mailbox

in winter.

An image of friends

with nothing

to say.

Chilled

by a blanket of snow,

waiting, hoping

for a warm greeting

that never comes.

Postal footprints

not even hesitating

suggest, maybe tomorrow.

With postage up to $ .73 now - Mailboxes will only hold bills and junk mail! Especially with the internet thrown in! A different age is upon us.
