LETTERS MAY BE LOVE LETTERS 
 
   I often ask my postman Gerry if there are 
   any love letters in the bunch he hands me 
   through the gate--he always says, "Not 
   today", so I holler at him that there's nothing 
   here but bills and ads, and he says, "Next time!" 
 
   Now the United States Postal Service 
   is ruining it all for me, without coming 
   out and actually saying anthrax, 
   they're suggesting all kinds of reasons 
   we shouldn't open our mail, maybe 
   should treat it like a poisonous snake: 
   If, for example, the letter is unexpected 
   or from someone you don't know, we 
   should suspect it. By this criteria, 
   these could include declarations of love, 
   acceptance of a poem by the New Yorker, 
   news that your last year's income tax is 
   scheduled for an audit next month, your 
   first piece of fan mail, or a chain letter 
   that results in catastrophe when broken.
