Boxes of Love

What if the post box dies? The Box of Love to be replaced by the Text Box? I heard on the radio today a 24 year old women say it's now all texts & email, she never sends post and doesn't know her friend's addresses. So maybe it's curtains for the post box. It would be so sad if such a deep pleasure is totally sacrificed at the altar of convenience. I love my fountain pen & the magic of sending and receiving hand written post.

Boxes of Tiny Love

tap tap tap
do it on the move
little boxes of untidy love
trap two thumbs trap
feelings neatly squared
at the speed of light ink
in tidy boxes of tiny love
no achy tock tock tick
no slow flow
no time to think
no address
no slips of pen & ink
no hour to dwell
in tidy boxes of little love
