Violent and unintentional
Acquaintances from Shanghai, India, Japan
Unbreakable codes
Rampant insanity
New friends, old stories
The translating will never end
Rows upon rows of lives upon lives
We once feared the mail would never stop, huddled over our sorting tables in the cost-efficient fluorescent light
You were trying to cut back on coffee -- unfortunately tea leaves me feeling dehydrated
You were quitting smoking
You were trying to eat healthier and exercise
You were trying to live on less, eat local, cut out wheat, vote your conscience
Choices, choices everywhere
Now we fear the day the mail stops
We'll be left to figure out what those lights did to us
And how the sorting changed us forever
Look at all this gray
Look at these medical bills
There was a creek we used to fish in back in Massachusetts. We'd ride our bikes there and we'd rarely catch anything.
The fish are gone now
The creek is gone
And bikes are extinct at last.
