Today the
postman brought
me a mass-mailed—
but individually ad-
dressed & personally
signed in blue ink—
"letter" from the
Postal Service
Director herself
asking me to part-
icipate in an online
survey about min-
imizing fiscal outlay
by reducing mail
deliveries to every
other day of the
week. Today the
postman wore a
black tee on which,
in blue, the message:
morituri te salutant.
