You put some legs on your email so I felt compelled to reply

compelled  to reply
                    tickled him  he was an awfullycheap date

since smartphones  distractions  social media texting emails have become scarce
                                                                                        not as scarce as letters
his father would say after retrieving the mail no letters  Nobody loves us
   to be sure

                his fathers letters to him were brief notes and newspaperclipped Today in History  occasionally a political cartoon  an article of interest to him

                                                                  because they interested him he read them

what actually interested him most of the Today in History  the cartoons  articles  was what was printed on the reverse sides  slivers of articles  often lacking context  which  like cutups  he contextualised with his imagination   

reverse side of ON DEC. 14  Every life story deserves to be told.  Share your loved one’s story at placeanad.chicagotribune.com  

    tickled him an awfullycheap date
                                          did they actually share their unedited uncensured story

left nothing out pimples blemishes warts  et al.
                                                   or presented perhaps unconvinced of unconditional love  carnival mirror reflections  comforting distortions

ON DEC. 15
             . . . people may use “accessibility” against delivery robots . . . the city doesn’t clear sidewalks along parks or on the bridges inaccessible for months for people in wheelchairs or with mobility issues.

the 14ths and 15ths angst   flipsides of the same coin

                                                                   that was his email reply
