Snail Mail


 Snail mail


You'd think in our advanced social media world

If we wanted to get our message across

It would be marvelously easy

 But I may as well be in the 19th century

Quill pen dipping in India Ink

Scribbling upon fine parchment paper

Rolling the note into a corked bottle

Casting it to the outgoing tide

Awaiting your finding it on your far shore

Going through the same process

To reply

Before we die

For what is any different?

Zuckermen and his analytic logarithms

See to it

Our notes in our bottles

Bobble endlessly out to sea

Unread

Unseen

In obscurity.
