I write letters
on napkins
and fragile Styrofoam cups
to people I will
never, ever know.
or love.

(maybe
knowing
and
loving
are the same thing)


should you happen
across
one of these
no-named love-letters
don't panic!

fold it up into
tiny pieces

small enough
to fly on the wind
but
big enough
to lodge in your
heart

and swallow it whole


letters to faceless
lovers
were never meant
to be read
and the mirror
only lies for so
long.

Brings back memories of the Brides cups we'd have and write on during the basketball games.

Zombie Pringles attack other chips. "LAAAAAAAYSSSSSSS. . . ."

Could you repeat that? I couldn't hear you over the sound of my awesome.

Mmm, I like it! The structure, it strengthens the effect of the whole poem, those words are chosen well and they are not "too big ones", which makes this simple and clear, and so beautiful.

This is awesome. I did something like that once...I wrote notes on homemade note cards and put them in those bank shoots that you drive up to and put your checks in to deposit...this is a very nice, nostalgic piece. =)
