When you saw

 633 danny@basse Mon Mar 25 09:45 704 "another"
 ?

did you reach for the "d"?

did you just pretend
it wasn't there?
I will never know

for the one thing you absolutely musn't do
is type "r"

because it would take some time
to write a paragraph or two
about the weather

and you are a very busy person
with much more important things to do

and besides

it might be rather awkward.

Do you still remember?
I taught you how to mail.
