come rain or shine

you like
to write your
checks
with an ink pen,
putting
the payment amount
in the given
box,
sliding
the paper slips
into
envelopes
with a stamp
on one corner
and a return
address, yours
on the other.
call it old school,
old
fashioned,
crazy, if you
must, but it's
what you like
to do.
you like the mystery
of the mail.
and seeing
the postman
coming up
the street
with his worn
leather bag,
come rain or shine.
