Too Busy to Write
Maybe this is what love looked like in 1906
a tilted hat, a lace collar, a stolen seat.
She drapes her arm over his shoulder
with the ease of someone who knows
she’ll be written about later
even if the pen never touches the page.
Copyrighted by J. Murray Jordan and issued as card #209,
This photographic postcard captures the flirtation and theatrical charm
of early American portrait postcards.
The reverse features a split-back with no message
as if the image was already enough.
