A Didactic Effort To Mail a Letter

Buy ink which remains indelible on the soul Lick your stamps as they should never lick themselves Keep envelopes open to suggestions and to be stretched Hide them in a dry place or pine desk out of trouble Hold pens gently into the wind or corresponding weather Leave an impression on the world as you write Use an eraser but only after midnight Employ an umbrella over your story Deploy it in the rain if you compose Protect your notes while rushing to the mail post Kill trees only when necessary Pray they don’t take revenge Keep rain in buckets one drop at a time Keep sanity at bay and asteroids at large Stamp high as bays get wet in rising tides Write letters with pens untouched by men Utilize paper snow white and pretty Mail correspondences twice if suspicious Use two stamps because you can Deliver yourself from evil Let postmen know you are on to them Send one letter at a time as mail is heavy Give it time because time is burdensome Let letters drop while servers do the rest Wait for a response but don’t hold your breath
