Kevin sent me this postcard near the start of my retirement.  I have been struggling to make it mean…anything, something.  Perhaps it is just a struggle machine.

To Kevin on the Gifting of a Struggle Machine Postcard

This post card
you sent me
(it was a calendar, wasn’t it?)
is almost full now
and
I still don’t know
what life means.
Is it a “filling in”
or a “marking off””?
Or is it
just
another
finite game
we jesters play at?

 

BTW, this was the nearly empty postcard from last June 9,2021
