no mail for md



time was
when rocks cooled and dinosaurs walked the earth
(oh, perhaps ten years ago)

the pain, exquisite pain of waiting for
letter
recognition of existence by outside world

small packets of torture, times appointed
postman walks up road
postman walks down road
no mail
no love

now, electrons bring post each minute
expectations high, contact online
but

all day 
every minute

wait

no relief
