By the
terms of her contract
The last public letter writer
Cannot retire. Nowadays
She often writes for bears
And pigs and angels and those
Who mistrust machines.
When she takes a break --
Going for coffee or ducking
Into the secret bathrooms
Beneath the Plaza hotel --
Her cat uses her quills
To draw pictures of flowers
And horses and cats
Walking upright, with glasses
And dressed as if for golf
Sometime around 1925.
