The postman

I was sitting
in a waiting room,
the postman came in
and began a conversation
with the
receptionist-

he asked
if she got back with
her boyfriend,
and
asked about her
upcoming trip.

he asked her
to take lots pictures.

His delivery
was not special or
priority,
it fell flat rate.

it was awkward to
witness,
as he was
there for about
20 min.

Nor rain nor
sleet
nor snow-
can stop the
United States Mail,

[however]
[ your publisher clearinghouse-pennysaver-phonebill-christmas card from grand mama-
might not make it today because
no male
was ever any match
for the United States Female ]
