Britt Melewski: from Letters to Powerful People, 6

October 25, 2016 by PBQ

Dearest Senator Enzi, 
Disregard my last correspondence.  
I was successfully able to find 
a peanut butter and jelly store. 
It will satisfy my cravings 
for the foreseeable future.  
On second thought, don’t 
disregard the entire message— 
only parts of it.  I stand 
by my opinion that the Emblem 
Muskrats of Emblem Wyoming 
be the next expansion team 
of Major League Baseball.   
Just look it up on Google Maps.  
Do you feel the way 
the causeway crosses Road 10? 
It makes me want to make pagan love 
to its symmetrical fire.  And how 
about the causeway having 
three names?  16, 14, 20.  16, 14, 20.  
Do you feel that?  Imagine the sheen 
of a brand new, state-of the art stadium 
seated against the banks of Dry Creek, 
the butte nodding in the heat, 
all ten of Emblem’s citizens 
working the aisles, throwing peanuts 
to buzzing fans.  Wouldn’t it be 
something?   Put in a good word?
