15,806. YOU CAN'T WRITE LETTERS

YOU CAN'T WRITE LETTERS

So it is said : You can't write

letters just to populate people.

Nations. Places where people

live. The dead letter office is at

the end of that dead-end street.

-

Plenipotentiary Gods await you,

while licking their pre-formed 

stamps by thought. It's simple

to be both omnipotent  and

omnipresent.

-

Along the cobblestone roadway,

the old trolly tracks are sunken

in and, now, long forgotten too.

None cares about the odor of

old rooms, nor the trailings of

old histories : How the rails once

ruled the land, supplanting even

the inland water travel of barge

and boat that once had gone 

before. That land is freer now

that it is all paved.

-

Let us not forget, tomorrow

was of another age.
