Dear Postmaster:
I saw in the newspaper
how you are planning
to assign zip codes to ships.
I do not think this is right.
The entire reason for a zip code
is that it stands still.
The entire reason for a ship
is that it is moving.
Not everything should be treated
like it stands still
because in my opinion
there are certain things that do not,
for example, history
& also marriage.
Even though what you are inside of
moves so slowly it cannot be felt
this does not mean
it is not moving at all.
In fact
it has been proven
that you can turn it around
so it goes back in the direction
it came from
but not always
in time to save someone
who has fallen overboard
or maybe jumped.
