dear shawn

somehow ended up in our mailbox a few months ago, addressee unknown, but when we tried to have it returned to sender, it made its way back into the mailbox. so took it to the desk where it has been sitting since, waiting for shawn, until she picked it up again from the pile of papers yesterday. if you are reading this, dear shawn, come by to pick it up.

d for dudley

dudley.jpg“so are you chinese or japanese?”

“i’m the chinese one.” “oh yes that’s right. i never remember which one. you two look alike.” “oh really, you think so?” “when are you moving out of here?” “well, technically i’m supposed to be gone already, but i just came back today to pick up a couple of things.” “oh. then you’re going back to china?” “yes.” “can you do me a favor? can you send a postcard? i’ve never been there.” “sure, that’s no problem.” “that’d be nice, thanks.” D is 91 years old and lives alone. She is Communist, curious about China and hopes one day to visit Japan. Her mailbox is stuck at the moment, but hopefully the postman will come soon and open it for her. Please send your postcards from China and many other places to: 253 East 10th Street, Apt. 16, New York, NY 10009, USA. (let us know if you do by logging in and writing a comment…thank you…)
