female messengers

back in the 80's the messenger feared the fax machine
well, the messengers feared the fax machine and the obnoxious cab drivers

there was no anticipation of the power of the computer

the messenger industry has shrunk
over all there are far fewer bicycle messengers than there ever where
but the ratio of men to woman may have stayed the same
there are not many female messengers
they are out there

I wonder what the tally of female messengers is
I wonder what the tally of female messengers was at its peak
I wonder
but I do not wonder any further than typing these words
