I forgot the mechanics, lost regimen.
Handwriting gone sloppy at best. I recall a few
rules vaguely, not enough to spell it exactly (fourth
place in a county-wide spelling bee). Third draft
trying to scrawl the word "sorry," take a second as I fold it
slowly. Stamps make shitty band-aids, my letters
come back with "Fuck The Sender."
Limited vocabulary to fabricate robotic sentences.
Emulation of a human emotion, sentiment
sounds about as real as a Speak-and-Spell. I've
forgotten more than I'm bound to learn from here
on out. Kept it short hand, referential, outlined but
not fully rendered, letter comes back stamped
"Fuck The Sender."
Stamps make shitty band-aids, my letters
come back with "Fuck The Sender." Words can't solve this impasse,
and I know this but I send 'em anyway.
