Four Words

"Empty mailbox," she said
"No one loves me."
"You stole my mail."
"You hoard it all."
"You ate my letters."
"Can you check it?"
(I hate my job)

"Thank you for helping."
Eight dollars an hour
"Oh yay! It came!"
"So nice of you!"
She walks by smiling
(I love my job)

"Empty mailbox," she said
I'll write a note!
I'll make a point!
I'll make her smile!
I'll make them think!
I'll make them stop!

Talk to the mailman
(I'm not a mailman)
Not really, I mean
Not even a person

She told me that
Because of the note
She told me so
She called me out,
"Empty mailbox," she said.
