      But I told you before
         such as such.
      red block stamp across rectangle white border,
       as impersonal and
            undividual as
       a wisp of water vapor
      frozen in space
      in a singular flake
      in a blizzard 
       and it came back an enigma
       as it went out an enigma
            RETURN TO SENDER
       that's all.
       and I called
        (and I interrupted another make-out party)
      and the doll
      and the poet
      had
         disappeared
                           again,
                                  leaving
                                          only
                                                a
                                                  fogged
                                                        question 
                                                                      in
                                                                          my
head
          why?
