Oh, it's been a while since I could walk barefoot down the driveway
retrieval without a key
Invisible, but not silent
Open air
Stop-and-go
Utility bills + magazines
appear:
Government work.

Now letters fly
Freely
With no life to guide their path, no hard form to
give them substance
Only what the words speak
inside a virtual box
With no middle man
to deliver
