Post-Card - by Rand (for Jenn and Scott)

To the right of my monitor
a tiny square photo of a mountain
is thumb-tacked to the wall

I remove the card
flip it over and read
"We are following our bliss
Everything here is beautiful,
and it seems to me Montana is a leg"

Replacing it I write
with no pen or paper

My grandfather worked with his entire body
My father worked with his hands
I work with the tips of my fingers
Will our children leave their bodies behind?

  1. I have a secret
    I want to tell
    Yet I cannot bear
    To tell it.
    So I write it
    On this card
    And send it out
    To PostSecret.
