None

I thought I was gonna skip this month... but I guess not...


The Phone is My Life

One phone call a day. It’s all I get and for the longest time I thought it was all I would need. With conversations lasting so long we could spend a hundred and thirteen hours on the phone a day. We often hoped time would stop before we had to say goodbye. But time doesn’t stop. Not for me or you or Her.
It is a bike with only front brakes. You try to stop and just go flying over the handlebars. For a while we were flying but everything has to crash. Everything.
Today I walk around aimlessly waiting. There is no school, no work, no day, no night, no pain, no love, no life or doom. Just a wasting of time till I can crawl to my phone and be blessed again. Your voice… You Are Voice! That sings a song sweeter than Holly Cole, tells a tragedy Shakespeare would envy, and makes me warmer than chocolate and a bath ever could.
But today, today is different. I am lucky to get twenty minutes of your time. Today and yesterday and the day before, they were bad luck. You had to leave. Had to. School, Work, Batteries, Animals or Alarms. Tomorrow and the day after they will be like it was before you left. Before all I had was one phone call a day to hear you. To hear you tell me, in that sweet, tragically beautiful voice, “I am Yours”

Lonely...
