Lunch

This image shows a page from a book about letter writing, with most of the text covered by green highlighter. Red pen markings circle and underline certain phrases. The page number 539 is visible at the top right, along with a handwritten date. The title "LONGER LETTERS" appears at the top of the page. Several sections of text remain uncovered, creating a blackout poem against the green background.
