Envelope
FOUND by Henry And Jessica Gordon
in Charlotte, North Carolina
My wife and I drove by a soft-cushioned chair that had been set out and thought "Hey, someone threw away a perfectly good chair that might look great upstairs!" We loaded the chair into my truck and drove it home.
It smelled slightly of cat pee so we decided to rip out the cloth bottom and check for any bugs or other nasties. From the bottom fell this envelope with a poetic turn written across: "If loving you is a crime, then I'd be happy doing time." We're not sure if this is a quote from an unnamed source or if it's original inspiration, but I'm sure something happened that moved the author to pen it down.
We wonder if there was ever anything inside the envelope- money or another letter- or if it was just the first available scrap. In any case, we hope the sentiment was felt by the intended.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
a la Hepcat, Prison of Love
"It's a crime to love is so divine girl
You got me doin' time cuz
You're always on my mind
I'm in a prison of love"
i heard that some furniture makers leave random notes or poetry in their furniture.
I wonder if that is a cat pee stain at the bottom...
kat: If you're right, perhaps this individual loved his/her work *just* a little too much. Maybe the author should keep reminding him/herself, "You can love your furniture, just don't LOVE your furniture."
"Is it a sin, is it a crime,
Loving you dear like I do?
If it's a crime then I'm guilty
Guilty of loving you."
kat and rebecca: even if you heard that, why would you spread the ignorance? i don't think a furniture dealer would leave something that creepy in a chair. you're both overanalyzing to the point of fantasizing. ooh, maybe a ghost left it there. idiots.
Poor King Vitamin he must have had a bad day.
