My
p.o. box is
on the bottom row.
To check it
I crouch down
in the catcher's position,
tilt my head
to the side and peer in.
Same as looking
under a car.
I check it twice a week
which is probably too often
but I don't care.
My p.o. box is
the most stable address
I will ever have.
I'm paying $22 a year.
That works out to $1.83
a month: pretty cheap rent.
If only I were smaller
I could live in it.
It's unfurnished,
but doll house furniture
would do nicely-
a tiny couch and bed,
a little kitchen table.
That huge hand coming in
the back door every day
would be inconvenient,
but life wouldn't be
such a grumble in my p.o. box.
Safe from all my enemies
like a gangster
in a haberdashery.
Did I mention that
it's a perfect rectangle? |
