to the memory of Charles Simic
I wrote an exuberant—
no, really!—e-mail yesterday
to my kind and illustrious(or at least respectable) friends
who put in a good word for me
with the authorities:my Green Card has come.
The e-mail to you
was said to be undeliverable;perhaps I misaddressed it
or again you may have
a different address.I thought I’d try it again,
in case it works.
Thank you so very much.
