Pen Pal



It’s a bright day

Here

If it sticks

It will the first one

That we’ve had

In a while



I’m tired

Slept poorly

I had coffee with friends

Last night

Which most likely

Kept me up

Though it was good

Coffee



And how is it

Where you are

Just now

More importantly

How are you

I’d

Like to know



More important

Than

The weather

Without doubt

Though

You know

The weather

Has been an easy

Entry

(and

entre nous)

Into conversation



Except

Maybe

Anymore

With changing climate

Then

Who knows

Who’s affected

By



What happens

Climatic

Anymore



So would you

Mind

Telling me

How you are doing

And how safe

In any way

You are

Just now



Sincerely yours
