What is it ?

 

It requires no envelope

and no postage at all –

It’s much less expensive

than a telephone call –

small as some pixels,

yet big as the sky –

is a friend that writes back

if just to say, “HI.”

An open letter to the rest of the World.

Dear Everyone Else,

I have people I know in several parts of the States.  They are people my own age, and some I have known for years.

Many of them refer to me as a friend, however - none of them ever bother to write to me.  Some of them respond whenever I send out an email, but to generate one on their own...

it just doesn't happen.

What is it about me that keeps people from typing a simple hello?

How are you?

and then push the send button.

Do I have bad juju?  Have I been cursed by some gypsy?

Maybe I cut her grass when I was a kid and I missed a spot.

Who's to say?

But if it is true, how do I find out?

How do I remove an old gypsy curse?

There are people in prison who get letters.  Do I need to rob a bank in order to get an email?

That doesn't seem right.

Anyway - thanks for listening.

It's no big deal.

I'll be fine.

No, really...

close this out and get on with your day.

I just be here.

waiting...
