the meaning of gifts

i get a tin
of assorted nuts in the mail.
cashews, almonds,
pecans,
walnuts, Brazil nuts,
peanuts and Macadamia nuts.
all salted.
i'm grateful,
but as usual i try
to read between the lines
of this gift.
what does it mean?
does someone think i'm nuts?
is that it?
or am i being too sensitive.
of course i did
send that person
a fruitcake again.
