the postal service


Today I received a package in the mail. I was quite excited, because my mail box lately has been depressingly empty (...........hint). Only, when I inspected the little box more closely, I realised it was something I had posted – not to myself in a fit of sadness, but to someone in Australia – last Thursday. I had clearly marked, in big red texta, on opposite sides of the box, “TO” and “FROM”. And yet – it didn’t even leave Goroka. It was just stamped, and sent, express route, back to me. The post here is erratic, but I didn’t think it was retarded.
