In The Future

 

Dear Red,
If you’re reading this,
you’ve gotten out.
And if you’ve come this far,
maybe you’re willing to come a little further.
You remember the name of the town, don’t you?
I could use a good man
to help me get my project on wheels.
I’ll keep an eye out for you
and the chessboard ready.
Remember, Red.
Hope is a good thing,
Maybe the best of things,
and no good thing ever dies.
I will be hoping
that this letter finds you,
and finds you well.
Your friend, Andy.
