Letters vs. Emails

letters:
you find paper
matching envelope
design inside mind
you write, draw
take care
to be legible
straight lines if you can
you lick and seal
find stamps
can't find stamps
postage went up
buy stamps
forget to bring letter to post office
a few more days
you realize the letter was kind of
mean
inappropriate
too gushy
not where you are at right now
rip up, start over
write slowly
draw some more
read carefully
press to your heart
and drop
in the box

emails:
you're angry. you're in love. you're hazy. you're crying. you type. you pound. you click. it's sent. oh damn. oops. fuck. shit. retrieve. retrieve. retrieve? oh well. writing another one. sorry. wasn't thinking. one hour passes. no response. oh shit. they're mad. three days passes. they were out of town.
