Why did I pick it up?
Its flap was torn, the message stuffed back in.
I didn't know the addressee, until now.
It says he doesn't believe or even care.
How did getting this reply feel?
I could find her and learn nothing, or
more than I want to.
The letter's two years old.
Did a child arrive, or did this
letter prevent a life somehow?
I could look and see.
Does she notice the letter's missing?
It tells me the sender never became a father, really.
Still, I hope the child arrived.
I sent it back to her. Rebound.
