Dear Sir,

I ordered a shirt from you last month. But there are some problems with it. First, the color is not as red as it is shown in the catalogue. I understand that the picture does not always show the real color, but it should not be that different. Second, I asked for a medium size because it is the size I usually wear. But your medium is so small that I have to give it to my younger brother.

I think you should be more serious about your business.

Truly,

Adam Rosen

Dear Mr. Rosen,

Our office hours are 9:00 a.m. ~ 5:00 p.m. Please call us if you have any more questions.

we don’t talk much,
Daddy and me.

The talking’s in the making, son,”
he smiles.
I see what he means.

It’s in the knife
meeting the beef,

in the dancing of potatoes
as they turn in the water,
in the singing
of boiling soup in the pot.

There are enough words
in the way
Daddy teaches me his famous dish
and the way he hugs me
when we finish.
