MaiI

John P. Campbell

i love receiving tons of mail
i read every piece of mail i get
the way i see i don’t receive any junk mail
one piece of mail is as important as any other piece of mail
i closely examine every piece of mail that is sent to me
i don’t miss a thing when it comes to my mail
i even read the advertisements and special offers
i never if they will have something i’m looking for
mail is a very important part of my life
without my mail i would have nothing
mail is the only contact i have with the outside world
mail is how i pay my bills and keep in touch with friends
waiting for the mail everyday fills me with excitement
cause i never know what kind of mail i’ll be getting
receiving mail is the highlight of my life
i look forward to the mail each and every passing day
theres nothing more gratifying to me than getting mail
i feel like an important person when i receive tons of mail
i read every letter as if it were to be my last one
i read every word with intense interest
i respond to most of my mail
but only to further my efforts to get more mail
some people say i should see a therapist
i would but only through written correspondence
i don’t see myself as a crazy person
simply because i like to receive lots of mail
i thought about taking a correspondence course on mailology
to expand my knowledge on the mail system
i don’t have a telephone or even a television
all the information i get is strictly through the mail
i and my mail carrier have a special bond
we’ve gotten to know each other very well over the years
i tip my mail carrier every chance i get
and write him thank you notes whenever i can
if it wasn’t for my mail carrier delivering my mail
i would be lost and shut off from the world
if it wasn’t for my mail i would be a wondering soul
lost in the unclaimed pile for eternity
theres nothing more satisfying than sorting through my mail
for it is my only link to civilization
for me receiving mail is what sustains me
except on sundays and holidays
