Addressed to Po Chu-I: Unsent, Unstamped
Another walk to the mail box, disappointed again:
another poem about dead ants, frustration showing.
To find a reader in you dead over twelve hundred years
more likely than in finding one in any now alive.
Po Chu-i is the Fourth Immortal. (The others, Li Po, Tu Fu, and Wang Wei.)
He wrote of ordinary things and questioned whether anyone would read of such
subjects. He is said to have written over 10,000 poems.
