The voice says
“get on the phone
and ring, damn it!”
and I listen
agreeing
yes, it’s the
proper thing
enthused I think of
what I’ll say until
remembering
last time and the
tone in your voice
distance
caution
defensiveness
reservation used
more for strangers
than I was prepared
– and words
just flew away
