Poem: Schroedinger's Letter

What's in the letter?


Is it the joyous shine
of good news?
Or the deepest despair
of bad news?


A bill for the labor
of modern life?
A random appeal
from some idealistic charity?


The slick paper
and bright colors
of the new restaurant
or solar panel installers
in town?


Like Schroedinger's cat
you won't know
if it's something you want
or something you ignore
until you open it.
