Missed Connections in Madison, WI
Blueberry Scar
…Oh, what a fool am I to attempt the sending of beauty in this ridiculous forum.
For me to think that you may peruse these posts is almost as preposterous as me believing that you would find it charming that I posted…
but I am the fool that tried and therein lies the rub…
Letters that we can physically hold in our hands, see, smell…
stash in special places for the safest of keeping…that is us.
So, to the blatantly obvious contradiction of pressing send,
I do so one last time…
gotta go get some stamps…
love to you.
Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder: The title of the piece reminded me of Richard Brautigan’s “In Watermelon Sugar” – not for any particular reason other than it uses a summer fruit to describe another object. It’s a lovely, sentimental letter and works nicely with the multi-color pattern by cdaltonrow (the design would make a fun stamp – which our writer could then put on their letter :-).
