California Mailman

by Richard Brautigan

Until recently, I've never been a very intuitive person and my ESP temperature has always hovered in the low zeroes like 27 below. But all that changed a few months ago when I had a dream that came true. It is the first time this has ever happened to me. I dreamt that my mail would be very boring and uninteresting in the months to come and that's the way it's been since the dream.

All I get are bills and junkmail and trivia.

When I see the mailman coming up the walk, my eyelids slowly lower. Sometimes I fall asleep while I am opening an envelope.

California is ready for anything.

I wonder if I should start a cult.
