P.O. Box

People are coming in and out, filing through the door, taking a number, and sorting with their hands. Everyone converges at this point, at this axis of communication, only to reach someone further away. A part of everyone belongs here, though. Hundreds of people claim one of the numbered boxes lining the single-faced wall. From here, there are invisible lines that connect people everywhere. Not just people, but points on a map. Specific addresses link one box to another, and routes are paved leading from this very spot. At the busiest time of day people are getting impatient. They see this clearly as a drop-off point and ignore the others while they wait to send out their postage. Everyone keeps it strictly business in this naturally casual environment.
