Time goes, as it does, by

We have written everything down at some point

We have been married a long time

We write the things and put them in envelopes

 

The envelopes should not be opened

because there’s no one to send them to

except each other

and we already know what’s in them-

 

Things like, “Put things in envelopes”

and “Today we saw the Cooper’s Hawk”.

 

We ride on top of all the envelopes now

and there is no need to make more envelopes

because that would be too many

and we might have to move the furniture.
