The State Of Affairs
I would have sent you
one more letter but I get
no replies from you.
My buddy Tom says
he sees you at the letter
box holding something
like you're sending up
a prayer all too often
but you back away.
He says he sees you
pocket whatever it is
and shuffle on home.

I rarely ever find out what my characters think unless they tell me outright. I have learned over decades that it is smart not to pry.
