a letter from the IRS

I'm not sure where I put it and it says I owe them
seventy cents, the rest having been paid on time, the fine,
yes, the fine is seventy cents and I must glue three quarters
on a piece of paper, or will they not like that since it's not exact change,
so I'll glue 7 dimes, or 14 nickels, or 70 pennies, but then the postage
would be more than the fine, but the post office would be happy
as they usually are when they open my mailbox seeing yet another letter
heading out with a crisp first class stamp in the upper right hand corner.
yes, I could send you one if it would make you happy,
but she would smell friendship on the envelope.
