Paying Bills Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Paying bills
A post box full of bills and only one postcard
virtual cards do not count; it is like virtual flowers
you see them on a screen and smells of
laziness and a forced duty to send something to
show appreciation.
Bills are more trustworthy they want payment now
and follow up if you haven`t paid in time with
a stern letter typed words on paper and you can`t
pretend having forgotten it.
I have the bills in front of me, but will not pay
before I get the stern letter, showing me they care.
