in the end
i imagine
the packages will arrive on a sunny day
will be picked up
at intervals
left to sit on the porch
until someone agrees decides
let's see what it is already
as if deciding what to send
was any simple task
and on this day
the sun will shine
and that american chocolate
a good idea she had
they will laugh
reduced to headshaking
will finger the dishtowels with
bunnies and towels
trace the elementary characters
spelling out greetings in
block awkwardness
had thought to send cash
but how much and how fair
and the cost to send five packages
over one hundred eighty dollars
they will shake their heads
smile with melted chocolate lips
our american cousin
she does try

side note
While this blog's original purpose was to keep myself honest in my practice of doing daily justwrites-- 10-minute freewrites from some unusual starting points-- it has meandered to occasionally include other sorts of writing, to address other goals, and to even include other authors. Now, its main function is as a sort of verbal/ thought outcropping in public view. These are not polished pieces, and most are completely rough drafts. As some pieces may be developed through revision, your comments are most appreciated.
