Hey Mr. Postman

Hey, you deliver
our mail
I see you wave
every time
I walk the dog
yet
I know nothing
about you.

We talked a teensy
bit today,
while you delivered
a parcel needing
a signature,
and I reminisced
that I had seen you
when I lived in
the apartment more
than 25 years ago.

You said that you
had worked for the Postal
service for 26 years.

Wow, you know
so much about what mail
I get etc. etc.
and I know nothing
about you except
your gentle smile.

So next time I see you,
Mr. Postman,
I shall ask your name!
