The Letter of a Thousand Stamps

It is very important that you listen to me.
What time is it when moments are sped up
and when this hand looks like it's from
the last lapse when I wrote about
the girl who smelled like pepper?
I do not know what is happening.
I could put everything into a locking trunk
and go elsewhere with this,
but it would not become any less true
in the place where I have gone away from.
I only wish that all these words had relevance,
and if not relevance, then at least some innovation,
like they would have if we were blind or broken or
anything but sighted and sane.
