Postcard 1

Distance Softens

       all one's imperfections

The span of many miles

                or many years

Renders our Everests flat

Fills in our trenches

Allows the myth of attraction

             the law of gravity

      and the forces of atomic nucleii

             to take hold

So then all we see is

             a beautiful planet

                           of blue and clouds 

             a smiling girl, carefree and

                           unburdened

Read this if are wondering what is going on.
